Marquess of Pombal Square

Marquess of Pombal Square is the centre of modern Lisbon. It is located next to Park Edward VII at the end of Avenida da Liberdade.

A monument to the Marquess of Pombal was erected in the centre of the square. The statue represents the Marquess of Pombal, governor of Lisbon between 1750 and 1777, together with a lion, a symbol of power.

The buildings that surround the square are the corporate headquarters of important companies, the largest Portuguese banks, and grand hotels of the most eminent chains.

The Marquess of Pombal Square is a good area to stay. It's quiet and with very good access to the rest of Lisbon.

It’s well worth wandering along the Avenida da Liberdade from Baixa. If you have time you can also look around Park Edward VII, which is the largest park in Lisbon, where the important botanic garden, Estufa Fria, can be found.
