A must-visit place in Portugal. Freedom Square

Liberty Square (Portuguese: Praça da Liberdade) is a square in the Portuguese city of Porto, located in the parish of Santo Ildefonso in the lower town. The square originated in 1718 and was called Praça Nova. Originally, the square was surrounded by medieval walls and the City Palace, none of which now exist. After 1788, the Lóios Order built a monastery on the south side of the square, replacing the medieval walls. The majestic neoclassical facade, today the Cardosas Palace (Palácio das Cardosas), is the oldest surviving building on the square and has dominated the south side of the square for more than 200 years.
