Teatro Civico, Historical theatre in Alghero, Italy.

Teatro Civico is a theater in central Alghero featuring classical architectural elements and multiple seating levels arranged for performances and events. The building maintains an active program of shows throughout the year and serves as a key cultural space in the city.

Architect Franco Poggi designed this building, which opened in January 1862 as a primary entertainment venue for Alghero. Since then it has established itself as a fixture in the city's cultural life.

The square outside is known as plaça del Bisbe because the bishop's curia of the Alghero-Bosa diocese faces it. Inside, the proscenium boxes are framed by two pilasters with Corinthian capitals from which a vault decorated with floral motifs springs. The auditorium holds about 400 seats across the stalls, three tiers of boxes and a gallery.

The theater is within easy walking distance of Alghero's main attractions. It is helpful to check the schedule of programming beforehand, as shows vary throughout the year.

The auditorium is built of wood, the only such theatre structure in Sardinia and one of the few surviving in Italy. Its facade still lacks the plaster planned in the project, left bare after disputes between the builder Lorenzo Bardino and the municipal administration. Convicts from the Bagno Penale did the masonry, carpentry and stonecutting work.
