Cine Olympia

Cine Olympia, located in Belém, Pará, Brazil, is the oldest operating cinema in the country, having opened its doors in 1912. Designed in a neoclassical style, it reflects the cultural influences of the Belle Époque and was once considered one of the most luxurious cinemas of its time. The theater has a rich history, including being the first in Pará to screen a spoken film in 1930. After various renovations and changes in ownership, it now serves as a cultural space managed by the Belém Cultural Foundation, hosting film festivals and special events. Admission is free, making it an accessible destination for both tourists and researchers interested in the evolution of cinema in Brazil.
