Majestic and unique, the Teatro José Peón Contreras is an authentic symbol of art and culture in Yucatán. This neo-classic style building was designed by Italian architects, built at the beginning of the 20th C., and inaugurated in December 1908. It has passed through various re-births including tima as a theater, cinema, gas station, office building, and eventually came back to life as a place for theatrical and artistic activities in 1984.
