Cine Doré, Modernist movie theater in Embajadores, Madrid, Spain.
Cine Doré is a movie theater in Madrid's Embajadores neighborhood distinguished by its striking orange-red brick facade with six Ionic columns and ornamental floral details. The building contains multiple screening rooms and hosts regular film sessions featuring classic and contemporary works.
The building opened in 1912 and underwent a major renovation by architect Críspulo Moro Cabeza in 1923. This transformation gave the facade its characteristic modernist style that remains visible today.
Since 1989, the venue hosts the Filmoteca Española, screening classic and Spanish films to an audience of cinema enthusiasts. Visitors come here to engage with cinema history and participate in film discussions throughout the year.
The location near Antón Martín metro station on Line 1 makes the cinema easy to reach by public transport. Multiple screening rooms offer options for different film types and audience sizes.
The building survived two fires and faced demolition in the 1980s before being saved by protests from journalists and artists. This episode underscores how deeply the cultural community valued preserving the venue.
