Teatro Capitólio, Modernist theater in Parque Mayer, Portugal.

The Teatro Capitólio features a naturally lit auditorium, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a roof terrace accessible through moving ramps for outdoor film screenings.

Designed by architect Luís Cristino da Silva, the theater opened in 1931 as the first building of the Modern movement in Portugal with reinforced concrete construction.

The theater hosted the Portuguese film A Severa in 1934, marking a milestone as the venue for the country's first complete sound motion picture.

The renovated main hall accommodates 400 seats with removable configuration and provides space for up to 1000 standing attendees during performances.

The building combines functionalist architecture with multiple entertainment purposes, serving as both a cinema and theater since its inception.
