About Rossio Square (Praça do Rossio)
Lisbon
Rossio Square is one of Lisbon’s most famous and historic squares, located in the heart of the city, that has been a central gathering place for centuries, and it remains one of the busiest spots in Lisbon today. The square is surrounded by elegant buildings, cafes, and theatres, including the iconic National Theatre of Dona Maria II. The square is known for its distinctive cobblestone paving, with intricate wave patterns that add a unique charm to the area. At the centre of the square stands a large statue of King Pedro IV, which commemorates his role in the liberal revolution of the 19th century. The square is also home to two impressive fountains and is a popular starting point for exploring the nearby Baixa district. Rossio Square has played an important role in Lisbon’s history, hosting various events, celebrations, and even public executions in the past. Today, it’s a lively place to relax, people-watch, or enjoy a coffee at one of the outdoor cafés.
