Rossio Square (Praça Dom Pedro IV)

Rossio Square, also known as Praça Dom Pedro IV, has been the bustling heart of Lisbon since the Middle Ages. Located in the city center, the square is a popular meeting point for both locals and visitors, surrounded by an array of bars, restaurants, cafés, shops, and hotels. Its most striking feature is the wavy pattern of black-and-white cobblestones, which give the square a distinctive, textured appearance. At the center stands the Column of Pedro IV, honoring Portugal’s Soldier King. Today, visitors can enjoy the vibrant atmosphere, explore the surrounding establishments, and admire the intricate paving and historical monument.
