Photographer's Note

The old Terreiro do Paço (Palace Square), officially called Praça do Comércio (Commerce Square), is one of the most beautiful squares of Lisbon. It's the site of the former royal palace (hence its traditional name).
There are lots of wonderful pictures of the Terreiro do Paço, including many in TE. Therefore I decided to post a different one, taken an early morning when a petrol company made an advertisement action on the square.
Update: the archways of these offical buildings (ministeries, etc) are also used by the homeless to overnight.
See also Petroleum in Lisbon.
Como já há tantas belas fotos do Terreiro do Paço, decidi apresentar esta diferente, quando a Galp fez uma acção publicitária na praça.
Actualização: os desabrigados também usam estas arcadas ministeriais para passar a noite.
Vê também Petroleum in Lisbon.
