Praça do Municipio, Lisboa

❖Praça do Municipio, Lisboa, Portugal, 2002[open in full screen]

A very pleasant square in downtown Lisbon surrounded by government buildings, below very steep hill hidden by the buildings sides.

A nice escape from the very busy shopping area nearby. This space was part of the major rebuilding efforts done after 1755 earthquake.
