Infanta Henrique Square

Praça do Infante D. Henrique, Infante D. Henrique Square, Henry the Navigator Square
Portugal, Porto
Infanta Henrique Square is located in the historic center of Porto. It has existed since 1885 and has a square shape. It got its name thanks to the monument to Henry the Navigator erected there, who is especially revered by the Portuguese for his contribution to maritime affairs and the discovery of new lands. There is a small park around this monument.
The square is surrounded by beautiful buildings, notable among which are the Exchange Palace, the Church of St. Nicholas, the Church of St. Francis of Assisi and the former market of Ferreira Borges. Since 2001, underground parking has been located under the square.

Going down to the Ribeira area, you will certainly find yourself in the small Piazza Infanta Enrique. All tourist routes of Porto pass through it. The square is surrounded by the facades of beautiful buildings, and in its center is a monument to Prince Don Enrique, known as Henry the Navigator. The statue of the prince was erected in 1900 and represents the Infanta surrounded by figures symbolizing the triumph of Portuguese navigation and faith in discovery. There is a small cozy park near the monument.
