The Teatro “Atenas” was opened at this location on June 28, 1916 due to the effort of the Martínez-Illa family, who were its owners for a short time. In the 20’s it was bought by Roldán who changed its name to “Sauto”. In the 40’s the company managed by Nicolás Cosio bought it, demolished the old structure and built the present one. Mariano del Toro worked on the design, the construction was directed by architect Pedro Páez and built by contractor Fermín Rodríguez, and it was inaugurated in April 1948. It was repaired and re-opened on April 25, 1984.
