Teatro Heredia, National monument theatre in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia.

The Teatro Heredia features a horseshoe-shaped auditorium, white Carrara marble staircases, and sculptures of classical muses adorning its facade.

Construction of the theater started in 1906 on the ruins of La Merced Church from 1625, opening its doors in 1911 for Cartagena's independence centennial.

The theater ceiling displays murals representing the nine muses of arts and sciences, while a painting by Enrique Grau decorates the main curtain.

Located at Calle de la Chicheria 38-10 in central Cartagena, the theater accommodates 700 spectators for performances and cultural events.

The design draws inspiration from Havana's Tacón Theater, incorporating Caribbean influences and utilizing the structure of a former chapel.
