Description
Our bed and breakfast in Lisbon was located only a block off this square, Restauradores Square. It ended up being a great location. A few steps away is the much photographed Elevador da Gloria, a funicular that links downtown to the Bairro Alto district. A metro stop is also here, and the Rossio Train station only another short block away. The square is dedicated to the restoration of the independence of Portugal in 1640, after 60 years of Spanish domination. The obelisk in the middle of the square, inaugurated in 1886, carries the names and dates of the battles fought during the Portuguese Restoration War, in 1640. It is decorated with two bronze figures on the pedestal depicting Victory and Freedom.
