Piazza del Commercio

Piazza del Commercio is a grand public square located in the center of Lisbon with stunning architecture and buildings. It was constructed in the early 18th century to boost the economy in Lisbon and inspire the city's people. The huge square is surrounded by buildings from different eras, along with the majestic Monumental Fountains of Praça do Comércio. One of the main attractions is the Triumphal Arch at its center, designed by Portuguese architect Eugénio dos Santos and built in 1875. This arch stands as a reminder of the grand celebration by the Portuguese people in 1808 when the French forces were defeated. The square also has a great view of the Tagus river and several gardens which make the area even more beautiful. Here, travelers and photographers can capture panoramic views, from the Monumental Fountains to the Tagus River, as well as architecture and building details. Piazza del Commercio is definitely a must-go place for anyone visiting Lisbon!
