The Praça do Município is a square with harmonious proportions, surrounded by Pombaline buildings.
It was built after the earthquake of 1755 to house the Senate, whose palace had previously been located on the Rossio.
By building the Senate building on this site, Marquês de Pombal wanted to symbolically link local and central power.
In the center of the square and opposite the Paço do Concelho stands the spiral-shaped pillory crowned with an armillary sphere, which became a symbol of urban independence.
