Gabinete Literario

Dating from 1844, this ornate historical building is a national monument. It was the island’s first theatre and retains an old-world display of faded elegance, with a gracious internal patio – topped with a splendid atrium – and rooms lined with bookcases. The place now functions as a private club, although the fancy terrace restaurant is open to all, with seats outside, and you can walk around the lobby area.
