A spacious and good-sounding theater that emanates a good atmosphere in its finishes and halls, apart from the fact that this site is one of the centers for national and international events for the city of Medellín (outside the La Macarena events plaza).

Great place for attend events where sound and lights could be a top companion. Discreet, clean, with good attention and parking places. As be inside of University of Medellin this brings the place a secure aspect. Pay attention as if you assist to event here you cannot get in whit beverages and drinks.

Beckov Castle

The Beckov castle stands on a steep 50 m tall rock in the village Beckov. The dominance of the rock and impression of invincibility it gaves, challenged our ancestors to make use of these assets. The result is a remarkable harmony between the natural setting and architecture.

The castle first mentioned in 1200 was originally owned by the King and later, at the end of the 13th century it fell in hands of Matúš Èák. Its owners alternated - at the end of the 14th century the family of Stibor of Stiborice bought it.

The next owners, the Bánffys who adapted the Gothic castle to the Renaissance residence, improved its fortifications preventing the Turks from conquering it at the end of the 16th century. When Bánffys died out, the castle was owned by several noble families. It fell in decay after fire in 1729.

The history of the castle is the subject of different legends.
