Cinema Império building, has a modernist architectural feature, and was designed by Cassiano Branco in 1947, and completed in 1952.
It has a rectangular structure, single block, whose main facade, is defined through a wide glass structure.
The internal space is oriented around corridors, which make connection between the three floors and an auditorium.
Corroborating this modernist visual language, is the ceramic panel by Jorge Barradas, decorating the ground floor restaurant.
The building is no longer a Cinema, housing since 1992, the headquarters of the Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus, in Portugal.
