A theater has defined the northeast corner of Plaza de Jerónimo Cuervo since 1862. After a devastating fire, Teatro Cervantes de Málaga was created by architect Jerónimo Cuervo and opened in 1870. Over a century later, the historic performing arts center was acquired by the city, totally refurbished and reopened in 1987. Cervantes Theatre stages diverse programs including symphonic concerts, operas, ballets, dramas and comedies.
