The theater was built on the site of the old Estaus Palace(*) between 1842 and 1846. A fire would partially destroy the building in 1964 and it took forteen years to reopen doors.
(*)built around 1450, it became the seat of the Inquisition in the 16th century; the palace survived the 1755 Lisbon Earthquake but it was destroyed by a fire in 1836

Creature Reflections
Ribeiro da Cunha Palace, Lisbon
Below is the creature reflected in the mirror.
I have no information about this work. Maybe it was used in the movie shootings or it was just a piece for sale at the market that took place here (last sunday post).
