São muitas as cidades europeias cuja praça onde se localiza a sua câmara municipal é a mais importante ou a mais grandiosa, não é o caso da modesta Praça do Município de Lisboa. É pequena e talvez não seja das mais interessantes da cidade, o Rossio, o Terreiro do Paço e até a Praça da Figueira acabam por ser mais emblemáticas.
Ainda assim é nela que podemos ver os Paços do Concelho ou seja, a Câmara Municipal instalada num edificio neo-clássico. Ao centro está o pelourinho construído após o terramoto no século XVIII.
In many european cities the square that has the town hall is usually the most important or the most magnificent, it is not the case with modest square of the city of Lisbon. It is small and perhaps not the most interesting city, the Rossio, the Terreiro do Paço and Figueira Square end up being the most iconic.
Yet it is here that we see the Town Hall or the City Council installed in a neo-classical building. At the center is the pillory built after the earthquake in the eighteenth century.
