Chiado, Commercial square in central Lisbon, Portugal

The square features traditional Portuguese architecture with ornate buildings, decorative tiles, and stone pavements surrounding a central gathering space.

Following the great fire of 1988, architect Alvaro Siza Vieira led the reconstruction project that transformed the square between 1999 and 2015.

The square serves as a meeting point for artists and intellectuals, featuring theaters, historic cafes, and the National Museum of Contemporary Art.

Located near multiple metro stations and tram stops, the square connects to major shopping streets and provides access to numerous restaurants.

The bronze statue of poet Luis de Camoes stands in the center, surrounded by smaller sculptures of other Portuguese literary figures.
