    Teatro Nacional de El Salvador, or National Theatre of El Salvador, is the oldest theatre in Central America. It began construction on November 3, 1911, by the French architect Daniel Beylard; and inaugurated March 1, 1917. It is of French Renaissance style with modern touches. It was decorated by the Italian architect Lucio Cappellaro, and its Great Hall is one of the most beautiful and elegant in Central America.

    You want to know a little bit of the past~ take the tour in the Palacio Nacional. The structure of the building is amazing, but the best part is the floor tiles~! Wait to see the visual art of the floor~ you will not regret it!

    Beautifully constructed theatre in the city center of San Salvador. I watched “Nadie volverá a hacernos daño” by Carmen Soler and I had a great time watching. Would definitely return on my next visit to San Salvador.

    Beautiful designs. A historic landmark. Not huge. But really nice. Parking lot available in the surroundings, charged by the hour. In the rough part of the city, keep it in mind.

    (Translated by Google) The National Theater is a historic place, located in the heart of the city of San Salvador. For a while now it looks very well maintained and the lighting system allows for very good performances in the rooms. Also the external lights allow it to be admired at night. It is a must to be in the capital of El Salvador. (Original) El Teatro Nacional es un lugar histórico, ubicado en el corazón de la ciudad de San Salvador. Desde hace un tiempo luce muy bien cuidado y el sistema de luces permite que haya muy buenas representaciones en las salas. También las luces externas permiten que sea admirado por las noches. Es una visita obligada al estar en la capital de El Salvador.

    (Translated by Google) An exquisite, incomparable and majestic architectural jewel and cultural heritage of El Salvador, its regal slenderness and beauty is unique in Central America, one of the most beautiful in the region. Abandoned for decades, in total neglect and decay, it is reborn with a period of maintenance, cleaning and lighting in the heart of the Historic Center, it is together with the National Palace the pure soul and sacred cultural legacy of the Salvadoran people. Due to its history and artistic expression, it is the most important and recognized National Theater. Mandatory stop if you travel to San Salvador, its beautiful rooms, its paintings, corridors, lounges, lights, stairs, doors, windows, everything inside transports you to a golden age of the country, you have not known El Salvador if you do not go through it. National Theater, highly recommended. (Original) Una exquisita, incomparable y majestuosa joya arquitectónica y patrimonio cultural de El Salvador, su regia esbeltez y belleza es única en Centroamérica, de los más hermosos de la región. Abandonado por décadas, en total descuido y decadencia, renace con un periodo de mantenimiento, limpieza e iluminación en el corazón del Centro Histórico, es junto con el Palacio Nacional el alma pura y sagrado legado cultural del pueblo salvadoreño. Por su historia y expresión artística lo vuelven el Teatro Nacional más importante y el más reconocido. Parada obligatoria si viajas a San Salvador, sus bellísimas Salas, sus pinturas, pasillos, salones, luces, escaleras, puertas, ventanas, todo en su interior te transporta a una dorada época del país, no has conocido El Salvador si no pasas por el Teatro Nacional, recomendadísimo.

    (Translated by Google) The National Theater of San Salvador is a valuable jewel of the architecture that we have and most important for the performing arts in our country. Every detail you find in the theater is so beautiful with its Renaissance style, in the dome you can see a very beautiful mural and I loved a crystal lamp so striking that you can see it over and over again. The seats are very comfortable where you can enjoy watching the dance, it also has a large room for meetings and workshops and conferences have also been held. (Original) El Teatro Nacional de San Salvador es una joya valiosa de la arquitecura que tenemos y más importante para las artes escénicas de en nuestro país. Cada detalle que encuentra en el teatro es tan bonito con su estilo Renacentista, en la cúpula podrá observar un mural muy bonito y me encantó una lámpara de cristal tan llamativa que puedes observarla una y otra vez. Los asientos son muy cómodos donde puedes disfrutar viendo la danza, también tiene una sala grande para reuniones y también se han realizado talleres y conferencias.
