Theatro Circo
An Italian-style theatre opened in 1915, with a lavish red-and-gold auditorium, one of Portugal's most beautiful theatres.
Theatro Circo stands beside Avenida Central. Opened in 1915, it blends Neoclassical and Art Nouveau styles. Its horseshoe-shaped auditorium is decorated with red velvet seats, gold carvings, and ceiling murals, and it seats nearly 900 people. It reopened in 2006 after restoration. Today it hosts concerts, theatre, dance, and film, and it is an important cultural venue in the Minho region. When there are no performances, you can book a guided tour of the stage and auditorium. The lobby has a café. Ticket prices vary by performance, and the schedule is listed on the official website.
