Azteca Theater, Art Deco movie theater in Chinatown, Fresno, United States
The Azteca Theater features a two-story brick exterior with a vertical neon sign and a prominent metal and wood marquee extending from its facade.
Built in 1948 by Gustavo Acosta, the theater became the first Spanish language cinema establishment in the San Joaquin Valley of California.
The venue hosted performances by Mexican film stars including Cantinflas, Pedro Infante, and María Félix during the Golden Age of Mexican cinema.
The theater contains 760 seats, a central hexagonal ceramic ticket booth, and multiple display frames for movie posters on its canted entrance walls.
The backstage walls preserve signatures from numerous performers who appeared at the theater throughout its operational history from 1948 to the 1980s.
