Teatro Nacional D. Maria II, Neoclassical theater in Rossio Square, Lisbon, Portugal

The Teatro Nacional D. Maria II features white marble columns and a statue of Gil Vicente above its main entrance portico.

The theater opened in 1846 on the site of former Estaus Palace, where Portuguese Inquisition operations were conducted until the 18th century.

Portuguese and international theater productions are performed regularly on the main stage and in the smaller experimental performance space.

The theater offers guided tours in multiple languages, allowing visitors to explore the building's architecture and learn about its theatrical heritage.

The building survived the 1988 fire that destroyed most of its interior, leading to a complete reconstruction while preserving the original facade.
