Dom Pedro V Theatre was built in 1860 by local Portuguese to commemorate their reigning king, Peter V. In 1873, the main façade of the building was renovated adopting a more neo-classical touch, including pilasters and a pediment on the main façade. Dom Pedro V Theatre, located on St. Augustine’s Square in Macau is one of the first western-style theatres in China.
