Teatro Trianón, theatre in León, Spain
Teatro Trianón is a theatre building in León constructed in 1946, located at the corner of La Torre and Ramón y Cajal streets. The structure contained a main hall with about 800 seats in the patio area and an additional amphitheater space, with a distinctive staircase serving as the primary entrance, featuring a blend of classical and modern design elements.
The theatre was built in 1946 during an era when cinemas and theatres served as vital gathering spaces in cities. After decades of use as a cinema, it later functioned as a disco and children's play area before eventually closing.
The theatre served as a gathering place for León's residents, where the community came together for performances and film screenings. Today it stands as a reminder of the central role live entertainment once held in local social life.
The building is situated at a street corner with visibility from both sides and located near other parts of the city, making it accessible on foot. Visitors should note that the building is currently not in operation and can only be viewed from outside.
The building showcases remarkable engineering for its time, with a large unsupported span of over 19 metres in the amphitheater area. This technical challenge was solved in 1946 using traditional construction methods rather than detailed calculations, reflecting building practices of that era.
