Theatre Thalia was inaugurated in 1843, for a party in honour of Queen Maria II by its then owner, the Earl of Farrobo. In 1862 the theatre was consumed by a fire that left in ruins so it remained closed for 150 years. Subject to restoration, initiated by the former Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education, in late 2009, based on the design of the architects Gonçalo Byrne, Diogo Lopes and Patrícia Barbas, the renovation was completed and the theatre inaugurated in 2012.
