TEATRO LEAL

San Cristóbal de La Laguna
- Arquitectura Civil y Doméstica. S.XX y Posterior -




Promoted by the lagoon anthropo Antonio Leal, it was inaugurated in 1915 according to the plans made by the architect Antonio Pintor y Ocete in 1912, with an eccratic facade, the interior decoration was signed by Lopez Ruiz and other artists of recognized fame in the artistic and cultural field of the time among which Manuel Verdugo stands out. This theater will come to replace the old Viana theater that was already insufficient at that time.

For its construction, novel materials such as structural steel and reinforced concrete were used, which would be used massively in the cathedral's buildings a few years later.

The construction works of the building are directed in 1912 by the construction master Jos Ru z Rodriguez.

Teatro Leal

According to Pedro Tarquis, the house was manufactured by the alarming Manuel Penedo El Viejo. This art fice works in the first half of the 17th century in La Laguna. It was of Portuguese origin and was the most prolific alarife of those who lived in the first half of the seventeenth century in Tenerife. Its production is located apart from La Laguna, throughout the north of the island, specifically in La Victoria de Acentejo, Santa Ursula, Realejo Alto and Puerto de Garachico.

The House of the General Captains is a clear exponent of the 17th-century Canarian domestic architecture. The exterior of the building is shown with a large canvas where the windows, framed in red canter, are distributed asymmetrically. The cover, also with a red tuff, has two bodies: the lower one, with the access door framed between padded pilasters; and the upper one, with a balcony supported by nulls topped by a split front with a central ball. The decoration with denticles is distributed at the base of the balcony, as well as on the sides of the front n. Interesting decorative motif is the sculpted, exposed, which resembles a balcony with balusters.

The interior of the house is articulated around a U-shaped patio with an access staircase, half of stone, half of wood, which introduces us to the noble part of it.

The asymmetrical distribution of the windows on the facade is a constructive aspect that, perhaps, speaks to us more about satisfying the building

El teatro es precioso. Tuve la oportunidad de visitarlo hace años cuando estaba destrozado y ahora, en 2017, volví a visitarlo y ha quedado espectacular. 

Además, suelen organizar bastantes funciones y obras de teatro.

Lo recomiendo
