In 1807, after the incident of a fire, the theatre was completely renovated. The author of the new buildings was Juan de Villanueva. In the second half of the 19th century the building of the theatre was again remodeled in the neoclassical style and its facade decorated with the names of famous playwrights of Spain, among which, of course, there is the name of the famous Garcia Lorca. The theatre in 1869 was given a new name – the theatre Espanyol. Today, the theater building Espanyol is one of the most beautiful in Madrid.
