Review & FAQ:

Rossio Square is the most popular plaza in Lisbon, a place where visitors love to sit back and people watch, or dine at one of the many charming outdoor cafes like the celebrated art deco-style Café Nicola. In the center of the square is an 88-foot-tall monument, a pedestal featuring marble allegories of Wisdom, Strength, Justice, and Moderation, qualities associated with Dom Pedro IV, whose statue tops the monument. There are two beautiful baroque fountains on each side of the plaza. The Dona Maria II National Theater, a neoclassical building that is awe-inspiring, can be found to the north of the square.
