Rossio (praça dom Pedro IV)

A monumental train station with horseshoe arched doorways built under the early 16th-century Neo-Manueline style is a must-see in the city.

One of Lisbon's main squares since the Middle Ages, Rossio was destroyed and reconstructed after the great 1755 earthquake.

This urban elevator from 1902 connects the lower street of Baixa with Carmo Square.

Placed in the re-urbanised area of Lisbon Baixa, Figueira Square is today one of the main hubs of the city's transport system.

A particularly elegant district of Lisbon, the Lower Town was among the world's first earthquake-resistant constructions.
