Dom Pedro V Theatre
(Teatro Dom Pedro V)
The "Dom Pedro V Theatre" is deemed to be the first "Western-style" theatre in China. The green pastel colored building was designed by Pedro Marques in the neo-classism Greek revival style and was constructed in 1860.
In addition to a theatre, the structure once also housed a ball room, a reading room and a billiard parlour, making it a venue of central importance for the Macanese community at the time.
