CEA Studios (Spanish: Estudios CEA), acronym for Cinematografía Española Americana S.A., was a Spanish film studio and production company in Ciudad Lineal, Madrid whose facilities were opened in 1934 and were running until 1966.[1]

The Studio had six sound stages, photographic laboratories for the edition of the films, set construction workshops, dressing rooms for the actors and a rest area with a swimming pool.[2]

At CEA Studios numerous Spanish films were filmed such as Our Lady of Sorrows (1934) by Jean Grémillon[3] and The Violet Seller (1958) by Luis César Amadori,[4] and also large international productions such as The Colossus of Rhodes (1961) by Sergio Leone and Doctor Zhivago (1965) by David Lean.[5]
