The Commerce Square has been for centuries the nerve center of the Portuguese capital. It was the site of the royal palace before the earthquake of 1775 and was until recently the gateway to the city by sea, as the port was located in its southern part.
The image shows the two main elements of the square, the Arc de Triomphe that leads to Rua Augusta, the axis of the Baixa district, the oldest in Lisbon. In front of the Arch and facing the estuary of the Tagus River, is the majestic statue of King José I, the monarch who reigned when the above-mentioned earthquake completely destroyed the most important part of the city.

La Plaza del Comercio ha sido durante siglos el centro neurálgico de la capital portuguesa. En ella se levantaba el palacio real antes del terremoto de 1775 y ha sido hasta hace poco la puerta de la ciudad por vía marítima, ya que en su parte sur estaba situado el puerto.
La imagen muestro los dos elementos principales de la plaza, el Arco del Triunfo que da entrada a la Rua Augusta, el eje del barrio de La Baixa, el más antiguo de Lisboa. Enfrente el Arco y mirando al estuario del Río Tajo, está la majestuosa estatua del Rey José I, monarca que reinaba cuando el terremoto mencionado destruyó por completo la parte más importante de la ciudad.
