About Teatro Hinojosa

The Teatro Hinojosa was built between 1876 and 1878 and is named after the benefactor who financed it. According to tradition, the design was inspired by Ford's Theatre in Washington, United States. The façade is carved cantera stone, with arches and columns.

The interior has a horseshoe-shaped auditorium with wooden balconies on several levels, painted and decorated, and a ceiling with murals. It has been restored and hosts theatre, music and dance performances.
