A bit of history

Terreiro do Paço, also known as Praça do Comércio, was once the site of the royal palace before the 1755 earthquake destroyed it. The square was rebuilt as a commercial hub, symbolizing Lisbon's rebirth. Rossio has been a central gathering place since the Middle Ages, hosting markets, executions, and celebrations.
