#Praca do Comercio (Terreiro do Paco) Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Commerce Square...Lisbon.
It is the largest square in Lisbon, named 'Comércio', which means 'commerce'.
This name was given because it was the point where merchants who traded through the Tejo River docks used to come and go.
Originally, there was the Ribeira Palace of King Manuel I here, but it was destroyed in the great Lisbon earthquake of 1755, and the king at the time, Joseph I, moved his residence to the Ajuda Palace nearby, and the Marquis of Pombal, his right-hand man, carried out the city reconstruction project and created a square here.
In the center of the square stands the equestrian statue of Joseph I, who worked hard on the city's reconstruction, towering at a height of 14 meters, and on the north side of the square is an arch built in the 19th century, which is also called the 'Arch of Victory'.

Lisbon in the rain 🌧️

It is quite sad that during the time I was in Lisbon, there’s storm coming and made a huge rain in Lisbon. However , I can still capture some of the great moment from those buildings. The Praca Do Comercio is a huge and harbour facing plaza, I really liked the reflection during the raining time and it made the floor become wet and like a mirror. The yellow colour of the buildings just made a perfect combination with the background with the reflection!
