About
18th-century triumphal arch adorned with sculptures, opening onto Commerce Square.
Built after the 1755 earthquake, this richly decorated arch marks the entrance to Rua Augusta. Its allegorical statues and bas-reliefs celebrate Lisbon's reconstruction. A terrace at the top offers sweeping views over the Tagus and the city center.
