The Capitol Cinema is no more! Tributes paid to iconic Cork landmark

It's the end of an era for the people of Cork as the Capitol Cinema on the city's Grand Parade has been demolished.

While much of the old cinema had been gutted and torn down in recent weeks, the iconic front facade has finally been demolished to make way for the €50m re-development.

The Capitol was the first multi-screen cinema outside of Dublin and had entertained the people of Cork right up until its closure in 2005.
