The Labia Cinema is the oldest art house cinema operating in South Africa. The building was orginally built as an opulent ballroom for the Italian Embassy. In 1949 Princess Labia converted the ballroom into a theatre for live performances.

Since the early 1960’s it was converted into a cinema, first with just a single screen. Now there are four screens, the largest of which has a seating capacity of 176.
