FCC Construcción Awarded the Teatro Real Coliseo Carlos III Refurbishment Contract

The Directorate-General of Architecture and Housing at the Ministry of Housing has awarded FCC Construcción the contract to refurbish the Teatro Real Coliseo Carlos III, a historic theatre building in the heart of historic Aranjuez, Madrid. The work will take 26 months to complete and cost 5.8 million euro.

The theatre's refurbishment and restoration project was designed by Bayón, Arquitectura y Urbanismo, and it is based on the original mid-18th-century design, preserving those historical elements that still remain from the original building.

This unique theatre, built in 1769 and designed by Jaime Marquet, has undergone several improvements throughout its history, with the ensuing changes in its original structure. It was even turned into a cinema in 1933.
