The Poblado theater-cinema is being renovated by the Puertollano City Council with its own funds. The old theater that was built at the end of the 1950s when the National Company Calvo Sotelo founded the El Poblado neighborhood with a large housing complex for its employees along with various social equipment, was in a deplorable state. . Today, thanks to the intervention of the Puertollano City Council with an investment of more than 46,000 euros, the exterior entrance and part of the surrounding gardens have been renovated, the roof has been replaced, the façade has been painted and the roof has been repaired to Prevent water from entering the theater.
With these interventions, the government team intends, as explained by works councilor Javier Trujillo, to “gradually recover” the old theater in the El Poblado neighborhood, which has been municipal property for 13 years, and since then has remained closed in a state of clear abandonment, degraded and vandalized.
On the other hand, “possible interior interventions are being assessed to further enhance the building’s value and be able to materialize the complete recovery of the building,” said Trujillo.
Below are images of the state it was in before the intervention carried out by the Puertollan City Council government team.
