Teatro Enrique Molina, Historical theater near Parque Ecuador, Concepción, Chile
The neoclassical structure features a main hall with wooden floors, grand curtains, and prominent staircases within the building complex on Victor Lamas Avenue.
Built between 1929 and 1935 by architect Onofre Montané Urrejola, the theater withstood the 1939 earthquake but sustained severe damage during the 1960 seismic event.
The theater, initially designed as a performance hall for Concepción Men's College, received its name from Enrique Molina Garmendia, founder of the University of Concepción.
The structure remains fenced off for safety reasons, but visitors can observe the historical ruins from the sidewalk along Victor Lamas Street next to the Municipal Library.
Despite enduring multiple earthquakes that measured up to 9.6 on the Richter scale, the theater's main structure maintains its original form from the 1930s construction.
