Lisabon #01- Praça dos Restauradores

Praça dos Restauradores is one of Lisbon’s most significant squares, located at the southern end of Avenida da Liberdade. The square is dedicated to Portugal’s Restoration of Independence from Spain in 1640, marking the end of 60 years of Spanish rule. It is named after this pivotal event in Portuguese history, and the Monumento dos Restauradores, a towering obelisk, stands proudly at its center as a tribute to the heroes who fought for the country’s independence.
