Summary
A century-old cinema, San Ildefonso in Salorino (Cáceres), exemplifies the evolution of rural leisure through its modular architecture, characterized by superimposed functions reflected in two adjoining spaces with double fronts. The study analyzes the interplay between traditional and refurbished façades and their interior impacts while incorporating documentary and anthropological perspectives. This architectural paradigm offers insights into how rural entertainment adapted over the 20th century, providing a unique lens to understand social and cultural transformations in UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Cáceres.
