City Cultural and Civic Centre (CIUDAD DE LA CULTURA)
Inaugurated in 2011, the City Cultural and Civic Centre (CIUDAD DE LA CULTURA) is located inside a modern building, formerly an old wine cellar, which was acquired by the City of Almonte to be part of the public heritage of the town.
Located on Calle Antonio Machado, 17, this area covers an area of ​​6,550m2 and connects with four streets in downtown Almonte. We highlight the following landmarks:
- Municipal Theater "Salvador Távora"
- Municipal Public Library "Ana María Matute"
- Municipal School of the Arts "Manolo Sanlúcar"
- Replica "Church of Baler"
MUNICIPAL THEATER "SALVADOR TÁVORA"
The scenic space has a capacity of 512 seats, a stage that is 17m high, 11.20m deep and 12m wide, two quick-changing rooms, three individual and one collective changing room, a rehearsal room, box office, office, warehouse and service areas.
The theatre has an Exhibition Hall in its lobby and another Hall, on the top floor, with a capacity of 60 people primarily used for small-scale cultural activities (book presentations, etc.), conferences, congresses and meetings.
The constructed area is 3,265m2.
Since its inauguration in 2011, the theatre maintains a permanent program that includes all the performing arts and covers all age groups. To guarantee this stability and also the quality in the programming, the City Council has adhered to the program “Enrédate”, Andalusian Network of Public Theaters of the Ministry of Culture of the Junta de Andalucía and the program “Platea” of the INAEM (Instituto Nacional de las Artes Escénicas del Ministerio de Cultura). Programming at the Municipal Theatre is exclusively promoted by the City Council and in collaboration with local associations or promoters in general.
All this has become a fundamental cultural reference point in our municipality and outside, as the thousands of spectators who annually attend the scheduled shows can attest.

Our Last Men in the Philippines.  A brief historical overview
The last Spanish overseas territories started to become independent by the end of the 19th century. One of these lands was the Philippines. At that point, Spain was sending some soldiers to fight in the existing wars. Those men were mostly farmers, artisans or shepherds who were illiterate and had never left their towns before. One of the soldiers on the Spanish troops was a man from Almonte named José Jiménez Berro, who ended up in Baler, a Philippine town. 
When the war finished, the remaining soldiers who were in that town stayed isolated and locked themselves in Baler’s church so that they didn’t realize that the war had become to an end. Their enemies told them that the war was over but they didn´t believe them.
 They resisted in that way for 337 days, almost a year, until they surrendered when they realized that the war was finally over. In the end, the Philippine Army allowed them to return to Spain, where they were welcomed as heroes.
