The Colon was built between 1886 and 1895 to a design by the Italian Pietro Cantini, with sculptures and decorations by other artists such as Cesare Sighinolfi, Philippo Mas Phones Lari, Pietro Mernani, and Luigi Ramelli. Their descendants still keep the old plaster workshop in the heart of the Candelaria neighborhood. The foyer is richly decorated with frescoes.

There is a wealth of wood-carvings on the boxes and the central chandelier is magnificent. The theater is home to the Symphony Orchestra and is used for concerts, plays, ballet, and opera. Its 938 people capacity, distributed between five levels, has witnessed the Colombian cultural development.
