Centro Cívico Cultural Legislativo, Neoclassical cultural center in San Salvador, El Salvador.
The Centro Cívico Cultural Legislativo is a neoclassical building in San Salvador with two floors and expansive interior spaces. The structure houses the Legislative Assembly Library and the Constitutional Studies Institute.
Originally built in the first half of the 20th century as Villa Dueñas, the structure served as a residence for Miguel Dueñas Dárdano, El Salvador's ambassador to France. It was later converted into a cultural center and home to legislative institutions.
The center hosts regular theater performances, art exhibitions, and folk dance presentations that reflect Salvadoran artistic traditions. These events give visitors a chance to experience local creative expressions and artistic practices firsthand.
The building is located at the intersection of Alameda Juan Pablo II and 3a Calle Poniente and is easily accessible. Visitors should check ahead to learn which exhibitions or events are scheduled during their visit.
The central pediment features the letters 'T de D' in honor of Miguel Dueñas's mother. This personal detail adds a touching human element to the otherwise monumental structure.
