Teatro Monumental, Concert hall in Cortes, Madrid, Spain.

The Teatro Monumental features a grand interior with rationalist architecture designed by Teodoro de Anasagasti, accommodating up to 4,200 spectators across multiple levels with excellent acoustics for symphonic performances.

Originally inaugurated in 1922 as a cinema-theater, the Teatro Monumental was one of Spain's first buildings constructed with reinforced concrete and served as the founding location of the Popular Front in 1935.

Since 1988, the venue has served as the main headquarters for the Spanish Radio and Television Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, hosting classical music concerts and cultural events throughout the year.

Located at Calle Atocha 65, the theater is easily accessible via multiple metro lines and bus routes, with tickets available through official platforms and advance booking recommended for popular performances.

The theater's entrance hall features an art deco fountain surrounded by deer sculptures created by Pedro Nicoli, combining functional architecture with decorative elements from the early 20th century.
