Cines Monumental

In the corner where now this cinema is, in 1910 there was the Café San Martin in which they had movies and thus it was know as the Cinema and it worked well until 1934. Already in the 1930s the first team had installed sound and modifications and it was called Cine Monumental, opening its doors on December 19, 1935. In May 1955 they put in a widescreen becoming the first cinema with such a screen. It was opened on November 10 of the same year with the film in Cinemascope "The Robe" with 4-band sound and other current projectors. In 1965, air conditioning was installed and ran until October 31, in 1996 it closed to turn into a complex with 4 meeting rooms, the first cinema complex in the city and reopened on August 21, 1997.
