Cerezo theater building, Municipal theatre in Carmona, Spain

Teatro Cerezo is a municipal theater on the Paseo del Estatuto in Carmona, built between 1931 and 1934 to a design by Julián Otamendi with José Enrique Marrero. Its architecture mixes eclecticism, art nouveau and Viennese Secession, and it was listed in the Catálogo General del Patrimonio Histórico Andaluz in 2008 as part of the Movimiento Moderno.

In 1928 Bernardo Enrique Cerezo, a Córdoba-born resident, won one million pesetas in the National Lottery and asked the city council for land to build a theater; the plot was ceded in 1931. Julián Otamendi, assisted by José Enrique Marrero, designed the building, constructed between 1931 and 1934. In 1942 it screened Luis Marquina's film Malvaloca.

The theater bears the name of Bernardo Enrique Cerezo, a Córdoba-born resident of Carmona who won one million pesetas in the 1928 National Lottery and asked the council for land to build a theater. Today it hosts the town's carnival competition performances.

The theater stands on the Paseo del Estatuto, on the site of a 1,600-square-metre plot expropriated when the plaza del Arrabal and the alameda de Alfonso XIII were remodelled in 1927. Parts of the building were divided off from 1954 into dressing rooms, garages and a dwelling, and in 1984 one section housed a branch of the Monte de Piedad and Caja de Ahorros de Córdoba. It is a municipal theater, so check the town's programme for performances such as the carnival contest held there.

The building's interior was divided from 1954 onward: María del Carmen Velayos split off parts for dressing rooms, garages and a dwelling, and in 1984 one section housed a branch of the Monte de Piedad y Caja de Ahorros de Córdoba. The municipality bought the whole for 67 million pesetas in 1994.
