history, photoop, Lisbon, Portugal, free
Comercio Square is a vast square on the Tagus River at the southern end of Rua Augusta. Entering the Square from Rua Augusta you will walk under the Triumphal Arch, one of the most photographed monuments in Lisbon. In the center of Comercio Square stands a statue of King Jose I, also one of the more photographed monuments in Lisbon. Lined with restaurants and other tourist facilities, Comercio Square is a great place to set as a meeting point in Lisbon and also a great place to sit and relax and do some people watching. The Lisbon Story (see separate entry) is located on Comercio Square as is the Lisbon tourism office. Praco do Comercio is also known as Terreiro do Paco (Palace Square). Both the Arch and the statue of King Jose I were refurbished in 2013. With the refurbishment it is now possible to access the top of the Arch to enjoy the incredible view over the Tagus.
