The largest and newest of Birkirkara'a cinemas, the Metropole Theatre was opened in 1954. It was the only cinema in town which had a panoramic screen and a sliding roof. The Metropole Cinema closed in 1979.
It is now a plumbing and electrical warehouse, having been totally gutted inside for this use. More details and photographs can be seen on a tribute website attached to this page.

My family owned the Metropole Theatre and we are in the process of creating a website about it. If you have any materials they would be much appreciated (my email is ). You’re welcome to visit www.metropoletheatre.com
