Monument to King José I at Praça do Comércio

The Monument to King José I can be found right in the middle of Praça do Comércio — Lisbon's grandest square. The square, still often referred to as Terreiro do Paço by the locals, is the perfect starting point for your exploration of the city. The square is hugged by historic buildings complete with countless columns. The statue of King José I faces the Tagus River — a gateway to the New World, now a busy transportation hub with a ferry terminal and connecting tram lines.
