São João National Theater

This theater is one of the landmarks of Porto, and is located in the heart of the upper zone of the city, more specifically, in the Praça da Batalha. The current appearance of the building is the result of the reconstruction carried out by the famous architect Marques da Silva after the building suffered a fire. It brings together the best plays and cultural and social events of the city, and it is the seat of the national theater company. It belongs to the network of the Union of Theatres of Europe (UTE). Besides watching the shows, there are guided tours to see the theater itself, Saturdays at noon.
