Located in the centre of Lisbon, the square is named after Portuguese Prime Minister Marquis Bombar, whose statue stands tall on a pillar, behind which is a large garden. Edward VII is a park. The lion under the statue is very powerful and vivid.
Marquis Pombar Square is located on the island around the south side of Edward VII Park. At the top of the huge cylinder in the center of the square is a bronze statue of Marquis Pombar. It commemorates the achievements of Marquis Pombar, the then Prime Minister, in rebuilding Lisbon in the great Portuguese earthquake of 1755. The square is named after him.
On November 1, 1755, a rare earthquake struck Lisbon, razing two-thirds of the city's buildings. It was the weekend when many people gathered in churches for mass, so the casualties were very heavy, with about 60,000 people dead. Marquis Bombar, then Portuguese Prime Minister, was commissioned to rebuild Lisbon. In commemoration of Bombar's contribution, in May 1926, a square named after him was laid, that is, Marquis Bombar Square at the northern end of Freedom Avenue. In May 1934, his bronze statue was erected. The statue of Marquis Pombar stands in the centre of the square, to the north of which is a park. The square is the starting point of Freedom Avenue, which goes south to Rossio Square.
