The neoclassical façade of this building is crowned by eight bronze sculptures of Greek muses personifying the fine arts. The entrance is flanked by two lion statues and cross-shaped lights. The curtain, which recreates a scene from the fairy tale “The Golden Horn of Constantinople,” was created by French artist Labasta. It was built on the site of the Temple of the Third Order of St. Francis. It is one of the city's most iconic buildings.
