The Castro Theatre, a popular San Francisco cinema and historical landmark in The Castro district, was founded in 1922. It hosts repertory movies, film festivals, and special events, especially with a gay or multicultural focus. The interior is luxurious and ornate, with a dramatic Wurlitzer pipe organ (music) played before performances. The large neon "Castro" sign, visible from much of the city, is emblamatic of both the theatre and the district.
