The year 2021 was announced with great fanfare. A new cultural project for Barcelona's Teatre Principal, spearheaded by a private investor and approved by Ada Colau's City Council, has finally begun. Construction didn't start in 2022, but four years later, just a few days ago, and will last two and a half years, meaning it could reopen at the end of 2028. The budget has also changed, rising from the initially planned €25 million to €45 million. The project involves the renovation of 10,000 square meters.² of a complex that includes the city's oldest theater and would entail restoring cultural activity to one of the emblematic spaces at the head of La Rambla.
