Teatro Falla, Neo-Mudéjar theater in Plaza Fragela, Cádiz, Spain.
Description
Teatro Falla is a theater built in neo-Mudéjar style on Plaza Fragela in Cádiz. The facade displays three large horseshoe arch entry doorways in red brick with alternating red and white stone patterns, giving the building a distinctive texture.
History
The building was completed in 1905 and replaced a wooden structure from 1871 that burned down in 1881. It received its current name only in 1926 in honor of the composer.
Culture
The name honors Manuel de Falla, a composer from this region who blended Spanish folk traditions with classical music and shaped the musical heritage of the city. The red bricks and white stone of the neo-Mudéjar style recall Moorish influence and give the building a warm, welcoming appearance.
Practical
The box office operates from Tuesday to Friday and offers discounts for seniors, unemployed individuals, and youth cardholders. The theater is best reached on foot through the old town, as Plaza Fragela sits in the heart of Cádiz.

Every February, the building transforms into the main venue for artistic competitions during the Carnival of Cádiz, one of the most celebrated folk festivals in Spain. The ceiling above the auditorium displays a Paradise fresco by Felipe Abarzuza y Rodríguez de Arias, linking mythology with the arts.
