EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and experience the enchanting world of the Open Air Comedy Theater, or Corral de Comedias, in Almagro, Spain. This stunning 16th and 17th century architectural masterpiece invites us to explore the rich history of Spanish Baroque literature and theater. The Corral de Comedias in Almagro is a unique and well-preserved example of an open-air theater from the Golden Age of Spanish literature. The scene is surrounded by 54 wooden supports and beams, creating a charming and intimate atmosphere. The intricately decorated side boxes, or cazuelas, are adorned with golden rosettes and coffered ceilings, adding to the grandeur of the spectacle. The corral, or scene, is framed by columns and rafters, creating a sense of enclosure that enhances the immersive experience for the audience. The cobblestone floor beneath the wooden stage, or pan, adds to the rustic charm of the theater. The dressing side boxes, or cabeceras, are a testament to the importance of the theater in Spanish society during the 16th and 17th centuries. They provided a space for the actors to prepare for their performances and offered a glimpse into the lives of the performers. The Corral de Comedias in Almagro is not only a historical landmark, but also a living testament to the enduring power of literature and theater to captivate and inspire. Whether you're a history buff, a literature lover, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the past, a visit to this Open Air Comedy Theater is a must-see experience.
