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'.
