National Theater: Living Scenario of Salvadoran Art and History
Its construction began in 1911 under the design of French architect Daniel Beylard, and it quickly became the most prestigious center for the performing arts in the country. It was conceived in an eclectic style, fusing elements of French Renaissance, Rococo and Art Nouveau, visible in its large muraled dome and interior decoration.
Events
