Teatro Principal

Teatro Principal is a municipal theater in Burgos Old Town that spans multiple floors. It features a main performance hall, exhibition spaces, and various rooms for cultural activities.

Construction began in 1843 under architect Francisco Angoitia, but financial difficulties delayed its opening until 1858. The building later faced closure and decay before undergoing restoration in recent decades.

The theater hosts opera, dance, and music performances that draw audiences from across the city. These shows reflect the artistic life that thrives within its walls.

The theater is centrally located in the Old Town and easily reached on foot. Access varies by event or season, so checking ahead helps you plan your visit.

It closed in the 1940s and fell into disrepair for decades before a complete renovation brought it back to life. This rebirth transformed it into a working cultural space while honoring its original structure.
