Teatro Faenza, Art Nouveau movie theater in Bogotá, Colombia.

Teatro Faenza is a movie theater in the Las Nieves neighborhood of Bogotá, built in 1924 on the site of the former Faenza pottery factory. Its brick and exposed-cement facade and reinforced-concrete structure, among the first in Colombia, combine Art Nouveau with late-19th-century academic eclecticism. Gypsum decorations on the facade and interior were made by Colombo Ramelli from designs by architect Ernesto González Concha.

The building opened in 1924 on land that previously housed a ceramic factory, transforming the site into an entertainment venue for the expanding city. This change marked the shift from industrial production to cultural use in that neighborhood.

The name comes from the Faenza pottery factory that once stood on this site on Calle 22 in the Las Nieves neighbourhood. In its early years the stage hosted not only films but also operettas, zarzuelas and musical performances. After the 1924 opening it screened La tragedia del silencio by Arturo Acevedo, which some critics call the first fully Colombian feature film.

The theatre stands on Calle 22 in the Las Nieves neighbourhood, in the Santa Fe locality of central Bogotá. The Universidad Central acquired it in 2004 and carried out the restoration, completing the facade work in 2007. Visitors can look for the brick-and-exposed-cement front and the plaster decoration made by Colombo Ramelli.

The theatre's name comes from the Faenza pottery factory that opened on this site in 1901, before the cinema was built. The plasterwork on the facade and in the interior was made by Colombo Ramelli, son of the Swiss artist Luigi Ramelli, following designs by Ernesto González Concha.
