    Praca dos Restaurdores is another major square in Portuguese capital along with Praca de Comercio, Rossio and Marques Pombal squares. This one stands at the southern end of Avenida Liberdade, opposite the Marques Pombal square on the northern end. In the middle is a tall obelisk monument in honor of gaining independence from Spain after the 28 y war (1640-68) with battle names inscribed on it. On the pavement is another beautiful pattern of Calcada Portuguesa. TIP: You can catch the Elevador da Gloria funicular from here to reach the elevated Barrio Alto and Miradouro Alcantara up there.

    Majestic monument celebrating the end of the Restoration War against the Spanish situated in the middle of the Restauradores Square. This large square is located in the heart of Lisbon and the end of the Avenida de Liberdade. It is surrounded by many stores, restaurants and coffee shops. Metro station to the east and the Rossio train station to the west. Especially beautiful is the cobble stone pattern that adorns the entire square.

    Inaugurated in 1886, this monument memorialises the 60-year struggle for independence and final victory from Spanish rule that ended in 1640, a major event in Portugal's history. The limestone monument is in the form of a tapered obelisk that sits on top of an ornate three-tiered square pedestal having truncated vertices and decorated with two allegorical bronze statues, one of Independence (on the southern face) and the other of Victory (on the northern face), and along the side are brass panels which commemorate the major battles of the War of the Restoration. The whole is surrounded by ornate iron streetlights.

    The Monumento dos Restauradores is a monument that stands in tribute to the Portuguese Restoration War that ended Spanish Bourbon rule over Portugal, beginning the rise of the House of Braganza to the Portuguese throne. The monument features a square stone platform with truncated vertices on which stands an obelisk as it's centrepiece. The square platform has two sculptures representing the allegorical figures of Independence and Victory.

    You can visit the monument for free anytime you want. It is one of the historical buildings to visit while you are in Lisbon. We will see many free walk tour gatherings here. You can book a free walking tour to get to know better about the history.

    (Translated by Google) The Praça dos Restauradores is a square in the city of Lisbon built to commemorate the liberation of Portugal from Spanish rule in 1640. The most representative feature of the square is the obelisk which is located in the center and at the foot of which there are two bronze figures representing Victory (with a palm tree and a crown) and Liberty. The names and dates engraved on both sides of the obelisk are those of the battles of the Portuguese Restoration war. (Original) La Praça dos Restauradores è una piazza della città di Lisbona realizzata per commemorare la liberazione del Portogallo dal dominio spagnolo avvenuta nel 1640. La caratteristica più rappresentativa della piazza è l'obelisco che si trova al centro e ai cui piedi si trovano due figure di bronzo rappresentanti la Vittoria (con una palma e una corona) e la Libertà. I nomi e le date incise su entrambi i lati dell'obelisco sono quelle delle battaglie della guerra di Restaurazione portoghese.

    (Translated by Google) The square is dedicated to the restoration of Portugal's independence in 1640, after 60 years of Spanish rule. The obelisk in the middle of the square was inaugurated in 1886 and bears the names and dates of the battles fought during the Portuguese War of Reconstruction in 1640. (Original) Η πλατεία είναι αφιερωμένη στην αποκατάσταση της ανεξαρτησίας της Πορτογαλίας το 1640, μετά από 60 χρόνια ισπανικής κυριαρχίας. Ο οβελίσκος στη μέση της πλατείας εγκαινιάστηκε το 1886 και φέρει τα ονόματα και τις ημερομηνίες των μαχών που διεξήχθησαν κατά τη διάρκεια του πορτογαλικού πολέμου αποκατάστασης το 1640.

    The long, tall monument towered over the surrounding landscape, its majestic form an awe-inspiring sight that evoked feelings of reverence and admiration in all who beheld it, a testament to the skill and ingenuity of its creators. The smooth, cool surface of the white stone marble gleamed in the sunlight, its pristine beauty a striking contrast against the vibrant hues of the surrounding flora, a sight that left one in wonder and admiration.

    (Translated by Google) Nice place and very central. But this obelisk is less than 30 meters high. This is what one is told on the Internet and on the bus tour. But if you compare it to the height of the building, that can't be true. (Original) Schöner Platz und sehr zentral. Aber dieser Obelisk ist keine 30m hoch. Dies wird einem im Internet und auf der Bustour erzählt. Aber wenn man ihn mit der Höhe der Gebäude vergleicht kann das nicht stimmen.

    This monument is located in Restauradores Square in Lisbon. The monument memorializes the victory of the Portuguese Restoration War which I understand ends the Spanish domination (this war lasted almost 30 years, 1640-1668.). The monument was erected in 1886. Above the base stand two bronze allegorical figures: the one on the southern face, is Independence; the one on the northern face, is Victory.

  • 4/5 Ben H. 4 years ago on Google
    The monument square, Praca dos Restauradores, is relatively open in space, and visitors can take Green line subway Metro and get off at Rossio Station. The square and Rossio Praca dome Pedro IV are actually one island square within main roads, and it is the city center of Ljsbob. The square has various types of stores- cafes and restaurants- and flea market nearby, including Sunday. However, nearby streets are tour groups' bus gatherings spots, and air quality and traffic can be an issue for other tourists sometimes.

    (Translated by Google) The monument to the restorers is the most famous obelisk in the city, located in the square of the restorers, the monument commemorates the victory of the Portuguese war of restoration, the war put an end to the court of Hapsburg and the rise of the house of Braganza lasted 166 to 1640 Above the base are two bronze allegorical figures, one dressed in a flag and broken chains is independence, the other is a classic dress that holds palm leaves in its palm and a laurel wreath on the other, is the Victory. stands on a square platform with truncated tops, on which stand ornate iron windows mounted on limestone bricks. , although my opinion is to go on foot because it is really worth seeing the various nice neighborhoods that exist around it, it has a lot of cafes, restaurants that you can visit and n You can see how quietly the monument is, an ideal place for photos (there are a lot of people taking pictures, and various vendors selling different things) and from this point begins Avenida da liberdade, which is where all the well-known branded companies are, is spotless. the whole area of ​​the square (as in the whole city, it is worth visiting.
