The Capitole cinema, built in 1928, is the biggest cinema in Switzerland and the oldest one in Lausanne.
Originally designed for 1,500 cinemagoers, the cinema now has a capacity of 867 seats, as well as several boxes and a balcony for wheelchair access.
The city of Lausanne is celebrating the cinema's 80th birthday on November 29 with a special film evening at the Capitole, including a special showing of the documentary "Parterre ou balcon?".
