Teatro Cine Fraga, Cultural theater and cinema in Vigo, Spain
Teatro Cine Fraga is a performance venue and cinema in Vigo located on Rua Uruguay, comprising approximately 7,000 square meters of space. The building features granite walls and decorative elements inspired by Santiago Cathedral's architectural style.
Architect Luis Gutiérrez Soto designed the building in 1942, with its opening occurring in 1948. The structure was built during a period when cultural venues in Spain were adopting new architectural approaches.
The venue bears the name of a local businessman and hosts productions with regional relevance throughout the year. It serves as a gathering place for those interested in cinema and theatrical arts.
The building was purchased by the Galician government and provincial administration in 2024 for transformation into a cultural center. Visitors should check current programming, as renovation work may affect availability of specific facilities.
The building features a split portico with neobaroque decorations and linked arches in the upper gallery. These details reflect traditional Galician architectural elements that visitors rarely encounter in modern performance spaces.
