Coliseu dos Recreios, Concert hall in Arroios, Lisbon, Portugal.
The Coliseu dos Recreios is a concert hall in Arroios featuring an iron dome installed by German engineers in 1889. The building seats approximately 4,300 people and showcases late 19th-century architecture with decorative details on its facade.
The building opened in 1890 and marked a new era for entertainment venues in Portugal's capital with modern metal construction techniques. Its development showed the technical and artistic abilities of Europe during that period.
The building became a stage for operas, concerts, and theatrical performances with international artists after opening. It reflects the role Lisbon played as a cultural hub in the late 1800s.
Visitors can purchase tickets online and enjoy performances throughout the year, with the venue easy to reach. It is wise to book in advance, as popular shows can sell out quickly.
Architect Cesare Ianz designed the facade with decorative motifs and gargoyles, while painter António Machado created the ornamental elements. This collaborative craftsmanship shows the artistry that went into shaping the building.
