Cinéma Sandaga, Historical movie theater in Sandaga Market, Dakar, Senegal
The Cinema Sandaga building exhibits Moorish architectural elements with traditional patterns and decorative features across its main facade and entrance.
Built in the early 1930s, this theater became a central entertainment venue during Senegal's colonial period and continued operations after independence.
The cinema served as a meeting point between colonial and indigenous populations, screening both European films and early works of Senegalese directors.
Located within walking distance from central Dakar, the building opens daily from 7:30 AM to 7:30 PM for visitors interested in architectural photography.
The theater structure integrates with Sandaga Market's commercial spaces, creating an unusual combination of cinema and traditional marketplace activities.
