Teatro Tapia, the old Municipal Coliseum, was built under the governance of Marshal José Navarro y Herrera to serve as the city's first performing arts theater. Its first stone was laid on September 21, 1824, it was inaugurated on February 19, 1830, and the work was finally completed in 1834. Built at a cost of 154,974 pesos, it was originally conceived at a greater height, but military considerations forced the building to be reduced to a smaller configuration.
