Teatro Civico di Castello, Neoclassical theatre in Castello district, Cagliari, Italy.
The Teatro Civico di Castello features perimeter walls adorned with cornices and tympanized windows, standing next to the historic Palazzo Boyl.
Commissioned by Marquis Zapata in the 1760s, the theatre underwent reconstruction in 1831 under architects Giuseppe Cominotti and Gaetano Cima.
Before World War II, the theatre served as the principal cultural venue in Cagliari, hosting three opera seasons annually and numerous ballet performances.
Following extensive restoration work completed in 2006, the theatre now accommodates 178 visitors and functions as a municipal performance venue.
The 1943 bombing raid left only the exterior walls standing, resulting in the current simplified interior design without a covering over the main hall.
