It is one of the largest squares in Europe, with an equestrian statue of King Joseph I, unlike a castle or cathedral.

Praça do Comércio is a monumental square on the Tagus River in Lisbon, built after the 1755 earthquake. It is one of the largest squares in Europe and was once the site of the Ribeira Palace, a royal residence. The square is surrounded by arcaded buildings in the Pombaline style, and in its center stands an equestrian statue of King Joseph I. It serves as a symbolic entrance to the city and is often the venue for important events.
