General Information

Municipal company EGEAC emerged, in 2003, from the reformulation of the social designation and status of EBAHL – Equipamentos dos Bairros Históricos de Lisboa, E.M., created by Lisbon Municipality in 1995. Our social object is to manage and preserve Lisbon’s main cultural facilities, such as the Castle, Fado and Puppets Museums, the Monument to the Discouveries, three municipal theatres and one cinema, as well as to organize Lisbon Festivities and several other cultural events. It’s also our duty to bring culture and events in urban spaces to all kinds of audiences, promoting social inclusion within the city. For the development of all those skills, EGEAC counts on 172 regular employees, managing a 10 million Euros annual budget, mainly from municipal subsidies, ticketing income and sponsors.
