The Teatro de la Cruz was, during its nearly two-hundred year existence, the principal theater for comedy in Madrid. Founded by the Hermandad de la Soledad in the seventeenth century, it soon became the premier venue of its time for Spanish comedy. In 1743, it was extensively renovated under the direction of the architect Pedro de Ribera, who transformed it into a modern theater seating 1500 spectators. During the nineteenth century, Ribera's architectural style, and specifically the style embodied by the Teatro de la Cruz, came under intense official criticism; a Royal Order in 1849 officially declared the theater a "shame of art," and ordered it to be demolished forthwith. However, the demolition was not immediate; the theater reopened in 1850, only to be closed again between 1852 and 1857.
