History

Envisioned as a "socio-cultural hall", the original venue was commissioned by Mariano Tejero Ruiz in 1912. Years later, in 1922, it was rebuilt as a cinema hall by architect Críspulo Moro Cabeza.[1] It fell into disuse in the 1960s.[1] The modernista façade managed to endure the vicissitudes of 20th-century Spain (including the Civil War), and the venue was rehabilitated by Javier Feduchi in 1984.[1]

In 1989, after a 26 year closure,[2] the Cine Doré re-opened as the venue for Filmoteca Española screenings.[3]
