Camarín del Carmen, Historic theatre in La Candelaria, Colombia.

The Camarín del Carmen is a theatre venue housed in a restored building in central Bogotá that seats approximately 500 spectators. The space combines the architecture of a former chapel with modern stage equipment for theatrical performances and artistic events.

The building began as a chapel in 1655 and was later used as a military facility before being converted into a theatre venue in the late 1980s. This transformation marked the shift of the space from religious to cultural purpose in the city's historic centre.

The name refers to Our Lady of Mount Carmel, to whom the adjoining sanctuary is dedicated. Since 1989 the building has housed the Compañía del Camarín del Carmen, founded by Pawel Nowicki and a stable company since 1997. Its 500-seat hall hosts theatre seasons in the historic centre.

The building sits in Bogotá's historic La Candelaria district and is usually open to the public only during scheduled events. Visitors should check in advance about upcoming performances and confirm access times, as these vary depending on the performance calendar.

On 1 September 2010 a truck from the company Coordinadora Mercantil drove the wrong way down the street and struck the building, causing serious damage. The balcony was taken apart piece by piece and repaired in the carpentry workshop of the Colegio Salesiano de León XIII at a cost of 150 million pesos; the work lasted a year and three months and the Camarín reopened in December 2011.
