It is worh strolling past the early 20th century eclectic Teatro Municipal Guillermo Valencia, one of the few buildings in the centre of Popayán that are not painted white. Inaugurated in December 1927 with the presentation of Verdi's Troubadour. The 900 seat auditorium was restored in 1987 but retains a retro style. The project relied on the supervision of the engineer Luis Eduardo Ayerbe. The house reopened its door to the public in August 1998.

Beautiful Teatro Municipal Guillermo Valencia is the scene of events, such as Festival de Música Religiosa, Semana de la Afrocolumbianidad and Encuentro Nacional de Tríos, among many others that take place here every day.
