EDITORS COMMENTS
Praca Dom Pedro IV, also known as Rossio Square, is a historic public space located in the heart of Lisbon, Portugal's vibrant capital city. This stunning photograph, taken circa 1908, captures the essence of the square during the early 20th century. At the center of the square stands the imposing statue of Pedro IV, the King of Portugal from 1826 to 1834, who played a significant role in the liberal revolution that led to the establishment of a constitutional monarchy. The statue is perched atop a grand column, surrounded by lush greenery and the ornate National Theatre, which can be seen in the background. The square is a bustling hub of activity, with pedestrians strolling along the paved streets and people gathering around the fountain on the right. The intricate tiling and paving underfoot add to the visual appeal of the scene, reflecting the rich Portuguese tradition of azulejo, or tiled work. The water in the fountain sparkles in the sunlight, creating a refreshing contrast to the warm hues of the surrounding buildings. The open space of Praca Dom Pedro IV serves as a gathering place for locals and tourists alike, offering a glimpse into the history and culture of Lisbon. The square's unique blend of architecture, art, and public space makes it a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the city.
