Edificio Gonzalo Mejía, Art Nouveau building in Medellín, Colombia.

The structure featured a grand theatre with 4,000 seats and the Hotel Europa, occupying a central position at Junín and La Playa streets intersection.

Belgian architect Agustín Goovaerts designed this commercial complex in 1922, which operated from 1924 until its demolition in 1967 to make way for Coltejer Building.

The Junín Theatre within the building contributed to Medellín's entertainment scene, screening films and hosting performances throughout the early 20th century.

The structure contained multiple commercial spaces and a luxury hotel, serving as a central business hub in Medellín during the first half of the 1900s.

The final film screened at the Junín Theatre before closure was Arizona Colt in October 1967, marking the end of this architectural landmark.
