EDITORS COMMENTS
Rossio Square, also known as Pedro IV Square (Praca de D. Pedro IV), is a historic public plaza located in the heart of Lisbon, Portugal. This panoramic view, captured circa 1905, showcases the grandeur of the square with its central feature, the Column of Pedro IV. The Column, erected in 1875, honors 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. Surrounding the Column, the square is framed by the National Theatre San Carlos (Teatro Nacional de São Carlos), which was inaugurated in 1893, and the Maria II National Theatre (Teatro Nacional D. Maria II), built between 1842 and 1846. The two theaters are important cultural landmarks in Lisbon, showcasing various performances, including operas, ballets, and plays. In the foreground, the Maria II National Palace Fountain (Fontaina das Necessidades) adds an element of tranquility to the bustling square. The fountain, designed by French architect Victor Lunel, was completed in 1877 and is a popular meeting place for locals and tourists alike. Rossio Square, with its rich history, cultural significance, and architectural beauty, is a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Lisbon. The square serves as a testament to Portugal's past and its continued commitment to preserving its artistic and historical heritage.
