"A visit to the Theatre The theatre opened its doors in the year 1846, during the celebrations of the 27th anniversary of D. Maria II. The architect was the Italian Fortunato Lodi. A fire of big proportions in 1964 destroys the interior of the building, but the structure was rebuilt maintaining the original neoclassical style and opens 14 years later. It’s possible to visit the Theatre inside and learn about the historical and artistic heritage, touring the halls, dressing rooms, technical areas, studio props and costumes, among other things."
We were in Lisbon for a few days while waiting for our cruise with NCL. We walked all around the city center looking for historic sites, coffee spots and lunch spots. We spent a lot of time in and around Rossio square. Lined with food and drink places and the plaza has lots of monuments and fountains.
At the north end of the plaza is the National Theatre. It was built in 1842-6 in a neoclassical style. It is a grand beautiful building proudly overlooking Rossio plaza.
