The Theatre Sá de Miranda
Viana do Castelo's main theatre, Sá de Miranda, was named after the poet who introduced the renascence style in Portuguese Literature.
This 400 seat theatre was constructed thanks to the effort of committed locals who invited José Geraldo da Silva Sardinha to design the building. Of an Italian style, the house is shaped like a horseshoe and includes three levels of boxes. Its stage curtain was designed by Manini and painted by Hercole Labertini, both set designers at S. Carlos Theatre in Lisbon. The fresco on the ceiling portrays a sky and was painted by João Baptista do Rio. It was open to the public on the 29th of April 1885.
The Theatre was bought by the City Council in 1985 and renovated during 1999 and 2000.
Nowadays, this is one of the main culture facilities of the city used for more than 200 music, theatre, opera, dance and cinema events per year.
