Monumental Cinema Sport
Monumental Cinema Sport was an Art Deco-style cinema located in the Ensanche Modernista district of the Spanish city of Melilla. It was the most important work of architect Lorenzo Ros y Costa and one of the finest examples of Art Deco architecture in Spain. At its peak, the cinema was also one of the largest movie theatres in the country. The building suffered near-total destruction in the 1980s, resulting in the loss of a significant piece of architectural and cultural heritage. The Monumental Cinema Sport was not only a prominent entertainment venue but also an emblem of Melilla's early 20th-century modernist architecture, showcasing the elegance and style of the Art Deco movement.
