Teatro Junín, Movie theater in Municipio Libertador, Caracas, Venezuela.
Teatro Junín is a movie theater in Libertador Municipality, Caracas, with seating for more than 1200 people spread across the main floor and balcony. The building features a circular vestibule and a double-height entrance hall that creates an open, spacious feel inside.
The theater opened on July 21, 1950, as part of the El Silencio urban renovation project, with a premiere screening of Disney's Cinderella. It was conceived as a modern entertainment center for the newly developed neighborhood.
Radio Rumbos, a major local station, broadcast from the second floor of the theater's left wing for many decades. This connection made the building a hub for news and entertainment in the city.
The building underwent major renovations from 2012 until reopening in April 2013 with modernized facilities and equipment. It is worth checking current opening times before visiting, as operations may vary seasonally.
American architect John Eberson designed the curved, six-story entrance with three supporting columns at the corner of the building. This bold architectural choice makes the entrance one of the most distinctive features visible from the street.
