Location

The Cristina Ferreira Amphitheatre is situated in the heart of Malveira, a locality in the municipality of Mafra. This central area of the village underwent a profound requalification, transforming a former fairground into a public space with a new dynamic. Its position in the center of Malveira makes it easily accessible, marking a landmark in the local urban landscape.

A New Identity

Inaugurated in May 2022, this amphitheatre bears the name of a Portuguese public figure, Cristina Ferreira. The choice of name reflects a personal and symbolic connection to the place, as the presenter and director has roots in Malveira and, at one time, actively participated in the fairs that took place there. This tribute confers a particular dimension to the space, linking local history to a recognized personality.

Design and Ambiance

The requalification project resulted in an open-air amphitheatre, designed to host various activities and events. Its modern architecture and tiered seating create an inviting atmosphere for gatherings and performances. The transformation of the old fairground brought renewed vitality to Malveira, giving the village center a more organized and visually appealing public space, adapted to the contemporary needs of the community and visitors.

Function and Cultural Relevance

Conceived as a meeting and celebration point, the Cristina Ferreira Amphitheatre is intended for fairs and cultural events. This revitalized space has the potential to invigorate the cultural life of Malveira, offering a platform for artistic and community expressions. Its existence underscores the commitment to creating venues that foster public participation and the sharing of experiences, enriching the cultural offerings of the Mafra region.
