Built in 1926, a 15,000 square-foot Moorish castle rose on Alvarado Street to the amazement of locals and visitors alike. The Golden State Theatre, a cinema and live performance venue to rival those in California's largest cities, was the definition of an opulent movie palace, located in the heart of Monterey. After decades of deterioration, it has now been faithfully restored to its former glory, featuring an Old World grand lobby and mezzanine, one thousand plush velvet seats, state-of-the-art sound, and the indefinable magic of a truly historic setting.
