Cine-Teatro Fausto

The now abandoned Cine-Teatro Fausto in La Habana was built in 1938 and designed in an Art Deco style, by architect Saturino Parajon. It has a simple Art deco facade, with vertical patterns above the entrance, flanked by horizontal delineations and has curved corners. Decorative botanical friezes and reliefs suggesting castlations on top.

 

It was the first theatre in Havana to have air-conditioning and its walls contain a cavity, protecting it from outside noise. The original theater was build in 1915
