The undulating cobblestone of Rossio Square (Praça Dom Pedro IV) is one of Lisbon's most iconic urban elements and the historical origin of the Portuguese «calçada». It is a pavement of white (limestone/lioz) and black (basalt) stones arranged in continuous waves, a design known as “Mar Largo”. The visual effect is reminiscent of the ocean's movement, creating the sensation of walking on the sea.
