Rossio (offiziell: Praça de Dom Pedro IV)

Pedro IV Square, better known by its old name Rossio, is a square located in the Baixa, the nerve center of Lisbon for several centuries. Trials, shows, festivals, military parades and autos de fe took place there during the Inquisition.

São Jorge Castle (Saint George Castle) is a Moorish castle occupying a commanding hilltop overlooking the historic centre of the Portuguese city of Lisbon and Tagus River. The strongly fortified citadel dates from medieval period of Portuguese history, and is one of the main tourist sites of Lisbon.

The Rossio, officially Praça de D. Pedro IV, is next to the Praça da Figueira and the Praça do Comércio one of the three main inner-city squares of the Portuguese capital Lisbon. It is located in the Baixa Pombalina and has been the main center of the city center since the Middle Ages.Source: Wikipedia

The Rossio is a central and at the same time important place. From here you can start many tours to visit Lisbon - both in the Baixa itself and in the Alfama or via the Elevador make the ascent to the Upper Town. Or if you like, you can also take the Tram 15 to Belém from here.

Great place to start your trip to Lisbon.

We were there at the end of May. At the time, the rosewood trees are blooming here and transform the square into a beautiful purple sea of flowers😃
