The execution period for the basic project and consolidation of this capital installation is twelve months, with a budget
The Cabildo, through the Culture and Museums area of Tenerife, yesterday approved, in the Insular Corporation’s Government Council, the contracting and tendering file for the consolidation works of the Teatro Baudet, a property owned by the island located in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The project includes urgent interventions to halt the deterioration of the building and preserve its architectural and cultural value, as reported by the area councillor, José Carlos Acha.
The investment for the basic project and execution of the consolidation of the Teatro Baudet has a base budget of €1,866,954, with a twelve-month execution period under a simplified open procedure.
Acha stresses that the main planned actions are structural rehabilitation and waterproofing of roofs, controlled demolition of damaged elements, restoration of the facade and protection of trusses, and documentation of original elements.
José Carlos Acha states that the Cabildo of Tenerife promotes “a cultural policy that cares for, preserves, and projects public heritage. The recovery of the Teatro Baudet is a strategic action that highlights a symbolic space in the centre of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, while simultaneously responding to criteria of conservation, accessibility, and public use. This tender reflects a culture that builds the future from memory.”
The project includes a report from the Administrative Service of Historical Heritage of the Cabildo of Tenerife dated 27 December 2024, regarding the project’s viability. Additionally, there is a favourable report from the Municipal Urban Planning Management of the Santa Cruz de Tenerife City Council, dated 8 April 2025.
Acha comments that the Teatro Baudet, which was inaugurated on 25 May 1944 as one of the first projects of the Tenerife architect José Enrique Marrero Regalado, is “an icon of the era of grand cinemas that has been preserved to this day. In the construction of its amphitheatre, the same riveted beam materials were used as in the Eiffel Tower, and throughout its history, as a building, it has had various uses but eventually closed its doors. Time and weather conditions have gradually deteriorated its facilities, to the point that even in the last term it was necessary to undertake a restoration project for its roofs and pillars to prevent its progressive destruction. In this context, we have promoted investment in this project that will allow us to recover a space dedicated to culture in all aspects, transforming it into a versatile space.”
