Teatre Principal, located at Carrer Jaume Huguet 10 in Valls, was built between 1845 and 1851. The project was awarded to architect Ignasi Jordà by public deed, and the interior was decorated by the painter and set designer Josep Planella. Sculptor Anselm Nogués created the medallions featuring the portraits of Moratín and Calderon.
The building, protected as a local cultural asset of interest with the code IPAC: 2401, has a seating capacity for 302 people. Of these, 106 seats are located in the platea and the remaining 196 are in the balconies. The façade is divided into three sections; the central section features three semi-circular arches at the bottom. On the left, there is a slanted arch, and on the right, a modified arch.
A balcony occupies the entire central body of the first floor, while the lateral sections are divided by a column. The second floor features a three-part window in the central section with a balcony on each side. The building is topped with a cornice that runs its full length. Originally designed in the "a la italiana" style, the theatre was reopened on 30th of a month in 1998 after extensive rehabilitation.
