City of Madrid Automata Theatre- Historic fairground theatre

A mesmerising orchestra of automata invites visitors into a world of fantasy. Across ten miniature stages, lively mechanical figures recreate scenes of everyday life, circus numbers and cabaret performances, forming a visual story as meticulous as it is hypnotic.

This mechanical theatre is a unique gem of Madrid’s cultural heritage. Created in the 1940s and recently restored, it shines once more with its blend of ingenuity, artistry and nostalgia.
