Overseas travel Lisbon travel praca do comercio

#Overseas travel praca do comercio Praca do comercio is also called palace square because the palace of Manuel I was located here before the great earthquake. The triumphal arch has sculptures of the Marquis of Pombal and Vasco da Gama, who opened the Age of Exploration in Portugal. It is the largest square in Lisbon and is located near the Tagus River. Originally, the Ribeira Palace of Manuel I was located here, but the palace was destroyed by the Great Lisbon Earthquake in 1755 and the square was created according to the urban plan of the Marquis of Pombal. In the center of the square is an equestrian statue of Jose I to commemorate his achievements. On the north side of the square is the 19th-century triumphal arch, decorated with sculptures of the Marquis of Pombal and Vasco da Gama. There are many buildings related to Vasco da Gama in Lisbon. Vasco da Gama is recognized as a hero by the people of Lisbon because he opened the sea route to India and brought wealth to Lisbon. Since it is located next to the Tagus River, you can go to the riverside using the stone steps on the south side of the square. praca do comercio #Lisbon travel
