The Labia Theatre has been ranked as the 12th most beautiful cinema in the world - and we couldn't agree more (although the number one spot would have been nice).
Opened in 1949 and named after Italian diplomat Princess Labia, the Labia has become something of an institution in Cape Town.
It's allure has even seen the likes of global superstars John Cleese, Matt Damon and Salma Hayek take in a showing at one point or another.
