Inaugurated in 1852 under the name Iturbide Theatre, this venue has hosted important events in the history of our country. In 1854, the Mexican National Anthem was sung for the first time; in 1867, Maximilian of the Habsburg was sentenced and on February 5, 1917, the Constituent Congress established the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States.
Of simple neoclassical style and with minimal restorations, it was the first building in the Historical Center to have electricity in 1901. It is said that during Maximilian’s time the building was left homeless and was used to make bullets to fight the emperor.
It received its current name in 1922 and today it is the official site of the Philharmonic Orchestra of the State of Queretaro and the venue for cultural events.
Location: Juarez and Angela Peralta, Historic Center.
