De Roma, Arts centre in Borgerhout, Belgium

De Roma is an Art Deco cultural centre and performance venue in Borgerhout, Antwerp, designed by Alphonse Pauwels and built in 1927 as a 2,000-seat cinema with flats above. Its brick and stone facade has tiered bays of tall dark-framed windows, and a curved stone canopy above the entrance carries the word "ROMA" in raised gold capitals. The main entrance was remodelled in 1958 by architect Rie Haan.

Designed by Alphonse Pauwels, the building opened in 1927 as Kinema Roma, a 2,000-seat cinema with flats above and the largest in Antwerp. Its main entrance was remodelled in 1958 by architect Rie Haan. After closing in 1982, it was classified as a monument in 2002 and reopened as a cultural centre on 15 May 2003 following volunteer-led restoration.

The space hosts concerts, theater productions, and film screenings that bring the community together. It serves as a cultural hub for artists and audiences across the region.

De Roma sits beside the tram stop of the same name on line 24, and premetro station Zegel, served by trams 8 and 10, is a short walk away. The entrance on the corner is recessed beneath the curved stone canopy marked ROMA.

The 2015 restoration cost 2.8 million euros, financed by the region, the city, the district and a non-profit foundation, and 400 volunteers took part in the work. In 2016 the restoration received the first annual prize for built heritage.
