Cine Tauro, Movie theater in Lima District, Peru
The Cine Tauro building features an asymmetrical facade with a central large window and colorful mural adorning its modern architectural design.
Constructed between 1957 and 1959, architect Walter Weberhofer designed the theater, which opened on April 5, 1960, with the film Pillow Talk.
During its first twenty years, the cinema served as a primary entertainment venue in Lima with over 1000 seats across orchestra and mezzanine levels.
The theater structure includes three commercial levels, a basement with 720 seats, and an upper mezzanine accommodating 560 additional viewers.
The original plans called for a ten-story building, yet only the cinema portion and three commercial levels were completed in the final construction.
