Cine Alameda

Cine Alameda was a movie theater in Havana with one large auditorium that held approximately 1,400 people and sat on Avenida de Santa Catalina. The building stood in an area with several other cinemas nearby that served the local community.

The theater opened in 1958, a time when Cuban cinema was shifting from pure entertainment to educational and social content. This change affected what kinds of films were shown in places like this.

The theater served as a gathering place in the Mendoza neighborhood where people could watch films together. It was one of several cinemas that shaped how residents spent their leisure time in this part of the city.

The location sits in the Mendoza neighborhood near the old La Copa supermarket, which helps with finding the area. The building's exterior is still visible today, making it easier for people to spot.

During its operating years, the theater showed international films such as 'Forever Amber' and 'El Hombre que Mato a Billy el Nino' for local audiences. This kind of film selection showed how much variety Havana's cinemas offered to their visitors.
