Cine Teatro Alameda, Historic movie theater in San Luis Potosí, Mexico.

Cineteca Alameda occupies the 1941 Cine Teatro Alameda, built by architect Carlos Crombé with funding from businessman Alfredo Lasso de la Vega García-Rojas, facing the Alameda Juan Sarabia. Its exterior follows the colonial Californian style, while the auditorium interior is eclectic, drawing on the architecture of San Luis Potosí. It has housed the state film library since a 2000 decree, confirmed by the creation decree of 6 June 2009.

The building was constructed in 1941 by architect Carlos Crombé, financed by businessman Alfredo Lasso de la Vega García-Rojas, and opened on 27 February 1941 with the screening of Siete pecadores, starring Marlene Dietrich and John Wayne. It was considered one of Mexico's most modern cinemas until the 1960s. A 2000 state decree made it the state film library of San Luis Potosí, and the Decreto de Creación de la Cineteca Alameda followed on 6 June 2009 after renovation works.

The building's interior was inspired by the eclectic architecture of San Luis Potosí. Since its 2009 reopening, the hall has hosted dance, music and theatre performances, assemblies, conferences, circuses, festivals, children's events and courses in drawing, film and photography. It is also a venue for the Semana de Cine Mexicano en tu Ciudad and the Tour de Cine Francés.

The building faces the Alameda Juan Sarabia, so the main entrance is reached from Avenida Universidad across from the park. The hall reopened on 6 June 2009 after refurbishment, and it also hosts concerts, dance, theatre and conferences, so check the programme before travelling. Seats fill for festival screenings such as the Semana de Cine Mexicano en tu Ciudad and the Tour de Cine Francés.

The 1941 exterior follows the colonial Californian style, while the auditorium interior draws on the eclectic architecture of San Luis Potosí. The opening film on 27 February 1941 was Siete pecadores, starring Marlene Dietrich and John Wayne. The building was financed by businessman Alfredo Lasso de la Vega García-Rojas and designed by architect Carlos Crombé.
