A praça foi idealizada no século XIX mas só foi construída um século depois, mantendo-se fiel ao plano inicial de uma praça fechada, com uma arquitectura simétrica e com edificios de inspiração neo-clássica.
As suas arcadas albergam restaurantes e bares, as suas esplanadas convidam a aproveitar um belo dia de sol.
Numa das pontas um quiosque vende as últimas noticias do mundo.
The square was designed in the nineteenth century but was built only a century later, remaining faithful to the original plan of an enclosed square, with a symmetric architecture and buildings of neo-classical inspiration.
Under the arcades there are a good number of restaurants and bars, and there tables outside are a great invitation to enjoy a sunny day.
I one end of the square there is a kiosk selling the latest news of the world.
