A majestic and beautiful architectural landmark that welcomes guests to the historic center of Lisbon. The arch connects Commerce Square with the main pedestrian street Rua Augusta, creating an impressive entrance to the city. Decorated with sculptures and bas-reliefs, it symbolizes the restoration of Lisbon after the earthquake of 1755. It looks especially impressive in the rays of the setting sun, emphasizing the atmosphere of the old town. This is an iconic place worth seeing while strolling through the historic streets of Lisbon! 🏛️✨

This is Lisbon, the Palace Square in the port, where there is an arch of Augustus, in the Baroque style.You can climb it, a beautiful view from above will give you pleasure. From here begins a beautiful pedestrian street with many cafes and shops where you can buy beautiful things. In front of the arch there is a monument to King Jose 1, he gave the sculptor a coin, since he had no time to pose, and the poor sculptor, who had never seen the king, made the sculpture in his own way. There are many cafes and offices serving the port of Lisbon on the square. There are festivals and carnivals on this square in front of the Arch.
