Cine Ideal, Movie theater in central Madrid, Spain
Cine Ideal is a movie theater in central Madrid with nine screening rooms distributed across two floors. It primarily projects international films in their original languages accompanied by Spanish subtitles.
The building was constructed in 1916 by architect José Espelius and originally held 3000 spectators. A renovation in 2017 updated the facilities while keeping important historical architectural features intact.
The cinema serves as a gathering place for film enthusiasts who prefer watching movies in their original languages with Spanish subtitles. This approach shapes the audience and creates a space where international films are shown in their authentic form.
The theater is located near Puerta del Sol on Plaza de Jacinto Benavente with convenient access to the area. Be aware that special discounted ticket promotions are offered on Wednesdays.
The building was originally constructed on the site of a former Ministry of Development. This unexpected background connects an administrative location to today's cultural venue.
