The southern end of Rossio Square, also known as Pedro IV Square, is dominated by a bronze baroque fountain. The area has been one of the main squares in Lisbon since the Middle Ages. In the centre is the Column of Pedro IV, King of Portugal and the first Emperor of Brazil.
Capital, largest, and wealthiest city in Portugal and one of the leading economic centers on the Iberian Peninsula. Although located in the westernmost corner of Europe, the city is firmly embedded in the European Union, hosting a couple of EU agencies. Visit Baixa, the downtown city center and Alfama, the oldest district in the city or just chill out in one of Lisbon’s memorable parks – Parque Florestal de Monsanto, one of Europe’s largest urban parks or Parque Eduardo Vll, off the main drag. Last but not least, Lisbon plays host each September to the Lisbon Gay & Lesbian Film Festival - Queer Lisboa.
