Rossio Square, Central square in Baixa district, Lisbon, Portugal.
The square features a 27-meter-high monument dedicated to Pedro IV, with marble allegories representing Justice, Wisdom, Strength, and Moderation.
After the 1755 earthquake, architects Eugénio dos Santos and Carlos Mardel reconstructed the square following the structured Pombaline architectural style.
The National Theatre D. Maria II, completed in 1840s on the northern edge, displays a neoclassical design with six Ionic columns from the former Church of St Francis.
The square connects to public transportation through its metro station on the green line and serves as a central point for exploring nearby attractions.
The square's wave-patterned cobblestone pavement design influenced similar installations across Portugal and its former colonies, including Rio de Janeiro and Macao.
