Edifício do Teatro Lethes/ Antigo Colégio de Santiago Maior
This small building was built in a place previously occupied by the Colégio de Santiago Maior. It was founded in the first half of the 17th century by the Companhia de Jesus. In the 19th century, the church was adapted to a theatre and the three doors and three windows of the original building were preserved. The central body was enlarged at the expense of the two towers that surrounded it. The interior was adapted to its new functions.
