Commerce Square, formerly Terreiro do Paço, its a square in downtown Lisbon, located near the Tejo river, in the area that was the site of the palace of the kings of Portugal for about two centuries and its now partially occupied by some government departments. It is one of the largest squares in Europe, with about 36 000 m² (180m x 200m). It is considered a historical symbol of political power and manifestation of capitalism in Portugal. This symbology is generally associated with state centralism. The buildings that surround the square have for decades been used by different ministries and other public institutions. Today its use is divided between government departments, cultural and promotional activities, hotels, restaurants and cafes. It is in one of the buildings of the square that is the famous cafe Martinho da Arcada, the oldest in Lisbon, and one of Fernando Pessoa's favorites. It was for a long time the noble entrance of Lisbon and, on the marble steps of the Colunas Pier, from the river, landed and were received heads of state and other prominent figures. In the center of the square is the equestrian statue D. José, erected in 1775 by Joaquim Machado de Castro, the leading Portuguese sculptor of the 18th century. On the north side of the square is the Triumphal Arch of Augusta’s street, the entrance to Baixa (downtown).

Strategically built on the north bank of the Tejo River, between 1514 and 1520, to defend the Lisbon bar, it is one of the architectural jewels of the reign of D. Manuel I. In the architectural ensemble we can separate two distinct bodies, models of the military architecture: the medieval keep and the modern bulwark which, with two levels for artillery fire, allowed for a longer range, shallow, ricocheting shot over the water. The Belém Tower is a cultural reference, a symbol of the specificity of the country that passes through privileged dialogue with other cultures and civilizations. Guardian of our Individuality and Universality, this status was confirmed when, in 1983, it was classified by UNESCO as a "Cultural Heritage of All Humanity".
