Cinema Rábida (1931) is located on the corner of Calle Rábida 17 and Calle de La Paz 2 in Huelva. It was designed by architect Luis Gutiérrez Soto between 1931 and 1933 and is symbolically considered the building that opens the doors to rationalist architecture in the city. It is a reference for other architects' forays into the language of the modern movement.
Gutiérrez Soto uses a refined rationalism with expressionist references, emphasizing the pronounced curved corner treatment, the rounded arches, the days and the rosy eyes. The round windows and light balustrades on the terraces refer to nautical architecture.
When film use ceased in 2005, it was demolished for the construction of a residential building, but the facade was preserved.
