7. Praca do Comercio

   Praça do Comércio, still commonly referred to by its former name of Terreiro do Paço, is a square in downtown Lisbon, where it was the palace of the kings of Portugal for about two centuries and which is now partially occupied by some government departments. It is one of the biggest squares in Europe. It was for a long time the noblest entrance to Lisbon and, on the marble steps of Cais das Colunas, coming from the river, heads of state and other prominent figures were disembarked and received. In the center of the square, you can see the equestrian statue D. José, erected in 1775 by Joaquim Machado de Castro, the main Portuguese sculptor of the 18th century. On the north side of the square, there is the Triumphal Arch of Rua Augusta, the entrance to Baixa.
