The Faenza theatre (Spanish: Teatro Faenza) is the oldest movie theatre in Bogotá, Colombia. It was opened on the site of a former ceramic (Spanish: faenza) factory on 3 April 1924 with the screening of a French film.[1][2] The theatre was listed as a National Monument of Colombia on 11 August 1975 under decree 1584.[3]
