The construction of theatrical buildings during the Spanish Golden Age boomed in the early 17th century. In the port city of Cartagena (Spain) there was a large corral de comedias, courtyard theatre, from 1614 onwards. Located in the noble quarter of the city, the theatre boasted all the elements that baroque buildings used to have and shared some architectural features with other theatres in the southeast of Spain. The building was owned by the City Hall and was specifically built to perform plays, which helped boost the Performing Arts in Cartagena. Thanks to this theatrical building, the city of Cartagena fully entered the theatrical life of the 17th century. By presenting archivist documents from the period, mostly unpublished, this article aims to locate the place where this courtyard building stood, to present a documentary recreation of the building, and to point out the importance of stage productions in Cartagena throughout the Baroque period
