Praç a do Rossio is an amazing and cozy square in Lisbon. Officially, it is named after the Portuguese Emperor Pedro IV, but to this day, locals and tourists know it by its historical name - Rossio. For several centuries of its existence, this square has seen a lot - public holidays and fairs, military parades and executions of heretics, as well as the devastating earthquake of 1755, when almost nothing remained of its old buildings, and new ones were erected in their place. Now the square is surrounded by beautiful buildings (among which the facade of the National Theater of Mary II is worth noting), and in its center there are 2 wonderful fountains brought from France and a column with a monument to King Pedro IV.→
