Marquês de Pombal Square (Praça Marquês de Pombal) 

Marquês de Pombal Square is a major roundabout and landmark in central Lisbon, marking the intersection between the historic city and the modern business district. At its center stands a tall monument honoring Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, the Marquês de Pombal, who led the city’s reconstruction after the 1755 earthquake. Surrounded by elegant buildings and adjacent to the beautiful Eduardo VII Park, the square is a key gateway to Avenida da Liberdade and a symbol of Lisbon’s resilience and progress.
