The Gran Teatro Falla is a theater in the Spanish city of Cádiz, located in Plaza Fragela, in front of the Casa de las Viudas and next to the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Cádiz.
Its construction began in 1884, following the project of Adolfo Morales de los Ríos and on the site of the old Gran Teatro de Cádiz, built in wood in 1871 by the architect García del Álamo, and which caught fire in 1881. In 1886 the City Council took over the direction of the works, although the lack of funds caused the work to stop on several occasions, which prevented the work from being completed until 1905. The person in charge of the works was the municipal architect Juan Cabrera de la Torre, who modified in much of the primitive project.
Neo-Mudejar in style, it is built in red brick, and has three large horseshoe arch doors on its main façade, with alternating red and white voussoirs. The ground plan is shaped like a horseshoe, to which the floors are adapted, each one surrounded by a gallery that connects with the access stairs, which start from a large hall renovated in the 1920s. The stage measures 18 meters in height. long by 25.5 m deep, and the ceiling shows an allegory of Paradise, the work of Felipe Abarzuza and Rodríguez de Arias.
Among the many shows that it hosts throughout the year, it is worth highlighting the official Cádiz Carnival Group Contest, held according to the Pastoral Calendar, which becomes one of the city's main carnival attractions. During the Carnival, the different carnival groups show all their art and genius in various ways at the Gran Teatro Falla.
