Teatro Lope de Vega (Seville)
The Lope de Vega Theatre is a small Baroque Revival theatre that was built for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929 in Seville, Spain, in the same building as the Exhibition Casino.
It stands on the Avenida Maria Luisa street near the Maria Luisa Park just north of the Pavilion of Peru.
The theater is named after the famous 16th-century Spanish playwright Lope de Vega.
After the exposition the theatre had a mixed history. It suffered damage from fire and flood. At times it was closed and at times was partially restored and reopened. The building has been used as a hospital and as a trade show venue. Following its most recent renovation the theatre has become one of Seville's most important centres for cultural events.
