Teatro Ateneo, Art déco theatre building in Maracay, Venezuela.
Teatro Ateneo stands at the intersection of Santos Michelena and Lopez Aveledo streets, featuring architectural elements that reflect the 1920s design principles.
The construction of Teatro Ateneo began in 1923 under President Juan Vicente Gomez's direction, with engineer Epifanio Balza supervising the project until completion in 1926.
The theatre reopened in 1968 after a long closure, becoming a center for regional artistic groups and cultural presentations in the Aragua state.
The Teatro Ateneo Foundation manages this cultural institution, which offers various performances and educational programs throughout the year.
The theatre remained closed for 33 years following President Gomez's death in 1935, marking a notable period in Venezuela's cultural infrastructure development.
