Cinema Europa, Movie theater and library in Campo de Ourique, Lisbon, Portugal
The Cinema Europa building features an Art Deco facade with modernist elements and includes a high-relief sculpture by Euclides Vaz on its exterior.
Originally opened as Cinema Astória in 1931, the structure was rebuilt in 1966 under architect Carlos Antero Ferreira's direction with a capacity of 878 seats.
The venue transformed from a cinema into a library in 2017, maintaining its role as a neighborhood cultural center through various programs and events.
Located at 28 Rua Francisco Metrass, the facility combines library services with spaces for community gatherings and cultural activities throughout the week.
Local residents formed the 'SOS Cinema Europa' movement to prevent the building's conversion into luxury condominiums, successfully preserving it as a public space.
