It was opened on April twenty-fourth, nineteen twenty-one, as a private initiative. It originally hosted zarzuelas, theatre, conferences or concerts until nineteen sixty-six, when it was rented out and used as a cinema up to nineteen eighty-six, when it closed. After being refurbished by the architect Juan Roade, maintaining its Italian style and modernist façade, in nineteen ninety-nine the Teatro Coliseo Noela (now under municipal ownership) became a singular building that hosts a large number of the town’s cultural events, along with the Casa da Cultura Antón Avilés de Taramancos.
