Where the Teatro Principal de Requena stands today there was once a Teatro Circo from 1902. The current building was raised over it in 1945, to plans by the Valencian architect Joaquín Rieta, and it is the region's main cultural stage, in the centre of Requena.
The building
A full restoration in 1995 left it as you see it now, with around 1,500 seats across the stalls, the first tier and the boxes. That capacity is why it can host everything from theatre companies to concerts, cinema and broadcast opera.
