Lisbon - Praça do Principe Real

Follow the Rua D. Pedro V in a northerly direction from the Museu de Arte Sacra to reach the Praça do Principe Real. This square was laid out in 1860 as an extremely fine, small park (Jardim França Borges) with greenery from distant lands. An old cedar has grown above a supporting trellis to form an imposing "roof" offering shade and has become a favorite meeting place for card players. The houses on the square were built at the same time.
