Teatro Nacional D. Maria II

Built on what was once the site of the Palace of Estaus, the siege of the portuguese inquisition, the theatre is said to be haunted by several ghosts-the most famous of which is its namesake Queen D. Maria II.

I admit, I am a passionate of theatres. I love theatre, the atmosphere that breathes, the feeling of being “followed by babelines” the stages, everything! That's why I loved to visit the National Theatre Doña Maria II, to start with it, I liked her facade, opened her doors in 1846 and it's in neoclassical style, nothing to envy the great European theatres of the time. The best thing is that you can visit it inside, because there are guided visits on Mondays and you can explain the different stays in detail, and you can visit even the roommates.

This neoclassical theater is just in front of the Rossio Square, the main square in Lisbon, at the same place where the Palace dos Estaus, the headquarters of the Portuguese inquisition, was previously located. The historical and artistic heritage of the theatre is guided by visits from the different places of the theatre, such as the rooms and the showroom of course.
