National Theatre of El Salvador, Renaissance theatre in Centro Histórico, San Salvador, El Salvador
The National Theatre features French Renaissance architecture with a grand hall containing 1000 seats and detailed interior decorations by Lucio Cappellaro.
Construction of the theatre started in 1911 under French architect Daniel Beylard's design, chosen through a competition that received 12 international submissions.
The central dome displays a 230-square-meter fresco titled El mestizaje cultural, painted by Carlos Cañas in 1977 during major renovations.
The theatre opens from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM on weekdays, with extended hours during performances, and offers guided tours of the building.
In 1992, the Government of Japan provided the theatre with modern sound and lighting equipment to enhance performance capabilities.
