Show sight on map

The Teatro Principal is a theatre located at 29 San Prudencio Street, in Vitoria. It was devised by Cesáreo Iradier, who was inspired by the Teatro de la Zarzuela in Madrid. Its inauguration was in 1918 with the name of Nuevo Teatro de Vitoria. The opening of the theatre was possible thanks to the contributions of the citizens of Vitoria with the purchase of shares. In 1961 it was renamed as it is today, in memory of the old theatrical building that had been in the same place between 1822 and 1914. For many decades it was used as a cinema. In 1992 it was renovated by the Basque Government, the Provincial Council of Álava and the City Council of Vitoria.
