As headquarters of the National Drama Centre, it concentrates on promoting the work of young playwrights. The building itself is a fine example of early cast-iron architecture with a classical façade and a neomudéjar-style interior. It opened as a theatre in 1885 equipped to hold 750 spectators. The great actress María Guerrero made her debut here, and later bought it. Since her death it has been in the hands of the state. You'll find it in the city centre close to both the Archaeology museum and the Wax museum. Tickets can be bought in advance at any national theatre box office and by telephone, on +34 902 488 488.
