It was erected between 1907 and 1914, surrounding the former Tacón Theater (1838), becoming the oldest functioning theater in the occidental hemisphere.
This construction has a flashy Neo-Baroque architecture, adorned with plenty of carvings and sculptures in stone. Its main facade has four sculptures in white marble representing charity, education, music and theater.
Apart of its history and beautiful architecture, the Great Theater has excellent acoustics, so wonderful shows are performed in here during the weekends.
This place is also the headquarters of relevant international festivals, like the one of Ballet of Havana and Lyric Art, La Huella de España Festival and Narración Oral Escénica National Festival, among many others.
