| Description |  |
The Dom Pedro V Theatre was built in 1860 by local Portuguese to commemorate their reigning king, Peter V.
Dom Pedro V Theatre is neo-classical in design, incorporating a portico front on a rectilinear plan. The façade is topped with a triangular pediment supported on four sets of Ionic columns. Three archways, each measuring 3 metres wide by 6 metres high, rise on pedestals resting on granite steps. The ornamentation on the green stucco façade is relatively restrained, with festoons above the arches and simple floral patterns around frames accentuated in white plaster. Similarly the cornice and architrave mouldings are highlighted in white, in contrast with the building. |
