Lisbon - Largo do Chiado

The Largo do Chiado forms the upper western end of the Rua Garrett. The alternative name of the square, Largo das Duas Igrejas, refers to the two churches which face each other here. Originally a gate forming part of the city wall built by Fernando I in the 14th C. was located here.

A bronze memorial to the poet and playwright "Chiado" has been placed here. It depicts him as a derisive orator who does not completely believe in authority.
