Teatro Lethes, Faro, Nineteenth-century theatre in Sé district, Faro, Portugal.
Teatro Lethes exhibits classical Portuguese architectural elements with decorated interiors, stalls, and traditional horseshoe-shaped boxes across multiple levels.
Built in 1605 as a Jesuit college, the structure transformed into a theatre in 1845 under Italian physician Lázaro Doglioni after the French military occupation.
The theatre presents regular performances of plays, concerts, and dance shows while maintaining its position as a central venue for performing arts.
Located on Rua de Portugal, the theatre offers guided tours and maintains an active calendar of events managed by ACTA theatre company.
The Latin inscription 'Monet Oblectando' on the facade means 'it instructs with amusement,' reflecting its educational and entertainment purposes.
