Exterior view of the Teatro Español in Madrid, Spain.

Fronting onto Plaza de Santa Ana, this theater (formerly the Teatro del Príncipe) has been here in one form or another since the 16th century and is still one of the best places to catch mainstream Spanish drama, from the works of Lope de Vega to more recent playwrights.
