Teatro Cajigal

Teatro Cajigal is a theatre building in Barcelona, Anzoategui State, featuring a neoclassical facade decorated with representations of art muses. The interior has a horseshoe-shaped hall that seats around 300 people.

The theatre was inaugurated in 1895 and was originally conceived as a tribute to commemorate a centenary celebration. Over the decades it maintained its role as a cultural venue and endured through various historical periods.

The theatre is named after mathematician Juan Manuel Cajigal and served as a gathering place for performing arts from its opening day. It remains a focal point where the community comes to watch drama, opera, and live music performances.

The building sits directly facing Plaza Rolando in Barcelona and serves as an anchor in the local cultural landscape. Throughout the year it hosts theatrical performances and concerts that are accessible to visitors.

The building was designated a National Historical Monument by the Venezuelan government in 1992, recognizing it as an architectural treasure. This official status highlights its importance to the cultural heritage of the region.
