Teatro de la ciudad

The City Theater has been operating in the city of Žilina since 1992. It is the first non-state professional theater in Slovakia that is financed by the city budget, not by the Ministry of Culture.

In 1999-2003, the theater was suspended due to the reconstruction of the building. The theater resumed operations on December 19, 2003.

His theater repertoire includes mainly contemporary works by Slovak and world playwrights. The theater co-organizes many cultural events, including Žilina Cultural Summer, Carneval Slovakia Žlina.
