Marques Do Pombal (Pass by)
Marquês de Pombal Square in Lisbon is a busy roundabout centered on a large monument honoring Sebastião José de Carvalho e Mello, the 1st Marquis of Pombal, who masterminded the city's reconstruction after the 1755 earthquake. While the monument is impressive, the square functions as a major traffic hub, making it noisy and challenging for pedestrians to access the monument itself overground. The area is a central point with hotels, corporate offices, and a metro station, and is located next to Eduardo VII Park.
