Teatre Municipal de l'Escorxador
Teatre Municipal de l'Escorxador is a theatre on carrer de Lluís Companys, in the Templers-Instituts quarter of Lleida, Catalonia, Spain. It's remarkable for its striking modernista-art nouveau architecture, unusual for a former slaughterhouse, a work by the Tarragona-born architect Francesc de Paula Morera i Gatell, nowadays refurbished and complete with some 1990s additions. It was heavily damaged during the Spanish Civil War bombings. It has been in operation since 1998, and is owned by the Lleida city council. It has two stages: Sala 1, an Italian-style hall with 310 seats, and Sala 2, used for plays and performances of a more experimental sort. There's a third space located in the former convent of Saint Theresa. Next to it is the Cafè del Teatre.Theatre school
