Step into the heart of Lisbon at Rossio Square. Dating back to the Middle Ages, this lively square is lined by many cafes (including the famous Cafe Nicola) that offer outdoor seating so you can enjoy its splendor. The square contains two baroque fountains and centers around a 27-meter monument dedicated to Dom Pedro IV. On the north side of the square stands Dona Maria II National Theater, which was built in the 1840s but uses the Ionic columns from the Church of St. Francis, which perished in the earthquake of 1755.
