This theatre is situated in Sa Calatrava, one of the most characteristic neighborhoods in Palma. The building, which has the name of the famous Majorcan actor and humorist, Xesc Forteza, is cube-shaped and has two facilities: the Theater Xesc Forteza and the Municipal Elemental Conservatory of Music. The theatre holds up to 460 people and was inaugurated in October 2006 and offers a program of theatre, music and dance that devotes special attention to the promotion of local creation.

The theatre is named after a famous Chueta actor who lived from 1926 to 1999. His full name is Xesc Forteza Forteza meaning both his mother and father had the same last name which is very common among Chuetas (descendants of the Jewish population of Mallorca).
