Behzad Cinema, Movie theater in Bagh-e-Qazi district, Kabul, Afghanistan
The Behzad Cinema building occupies a central position in Kabul's old city area, featuring architectural elements typical of 1930s entertainment venues in Afghanistan.
Constructed in 1934 by the Kabul Municipality, this cinema holds the distinction of being the first movie theater established in Afghanistan.
The cinema served as a central gathering space for film enthusiasts in Kabul until political changes led to its gradual deterioration.
The structure stands at coordinates 34.512615 latitude and 69.179545 longitude, with current conditions making it unsuitable for public entertainment purposes.
Among the 23 cinemas that once operated in Kabul, Behzad Cinema remains a testament to the introduction of motion pictures in Afghanistan.
