It was built as a corral de comedias, a courtyard theatre. However, it is no longer an open-air theater, like the Corral de comedias de Almagro, having been given a roof in a rebuilding in 1769. Following use as a teatro romántico in the 19th century, and a cinema in the early 20th century, which led to major changes in the building's architecture, the building has been restored.
