Teatro Góngora

About

Teatro Góngora is one of Córdoba’s most distinctive cultural venues, blending avant‑garde spirit with the elegance of early 20th‑century design. Opened in 1932 and created by architect Luis Gutiérrez Soto, the building is a striking example of Spanish Rationalism, with clean lines, geometric forms, and a façade that stands out in the historic centre. Inside, the theatre offers an intimate atmosphere ideal for contemporary performances, from theatre and dance to concerts, film screenings, and experimental works. Its careful restoration has preserved the original architectural character while updating the space for modern audiences, making it a dynamic complement to the city’s larger Gran Teatro. Today, Teatro Góngora is known for its innovative programming and its role in supporting emerging artists and new creative voices. It remains a vibrant cultural landmark where Córdoba’s artistic energy finds a modern and expressive home.
