Praça do Comércio
The
Praça do Comércio
(;
English
:
Commerce Square
) is located in the city of
Lisbon
,
Portugal
. Situated near the
Tagus river
, the square is still commonly known as
Terreiro do Paço
(; English: Palace Yard), because it was the location of the
Paços da Ribeira
(Royal Ribeira Palace) until it was destroyed by the great
1755 Lisbon earthquake
. After the earthquake, the square was completely remodelled as part of the rebuilding of the
Pombaline Downtown
, ordered by
Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, 1st Marquis of Pombal
, who was the
Minister of the Kingdom of Portugal
from 1750 to 1777, during the reign of
Dom José I
,
King of Portugal
.
