Praça do Comércio (Commerce Square, better known as Terreiro do Paço) was the site of Lisbon's Royal Palace for over 200 years. It is one of Lisbon's most important squares and, with a magnificent view of the Tagus estuary, is the city's nerve center.

Once a land of muleteers, Cova da Piedade spurred the growth of the urban area with the reconstruction of its church, in honor of Our Lady of Piety. The industrialization of the riverside area later led to the establishment of several cork processing factories, shipbuilding yards, and cooperages, which benefited from river and rail connections. Also around that time, in the Romeira area, there was a veritable "industry" of laundry. By the mid-20th century, the installation of the Lisnave shipyards exponentially increased job opportunities and the local population. It's not difficult to find authentic works of art scattered across walls and buildings in the urban and industrial areas of Cova da Piedade – some have even become landmarks in the city's landscape! Currently, urban art has been revitalizing this and several other areas of the municipality with high potential, such as the Lisnave Shipyards, the Mutela area, or the Caramujo and Romeira area, where a dormant industrial area has begun to revive in recent years with the requalification of old silos, warehouses, and factories, now converted into innovative public spaces. The Romeira Market is an excellent example of this. The locals usually gather in the Cova da Piedade Public Garden, a central point famous for its bandstand, right next to a late 19th-century palace and the romantic Chalet Ribeiro Telles, where the Town Hall is currently located.

In 1971, the city government honored João I of Portugal with a bronze statue designed by Leopoldo de Almeida. Attached to the sides of the statue are two medallions depicting both Nuno Álvares Pereira and João das Regras, both of whom helped bring João I to power. João I, in turn, is commonly considered the "Defender of the Fatherland" for overthrowing the pro-Castilian interim ruler Leonora Teles de Menezes in the 1383 revolution.

The 25th of April Bridge is a suspension bridge in Lisbon, Portugal, very similar to San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. It crosses the Tagus River, connecting the capital to the city of Almada. Inaugurated in 1966 as the Salazar Bridge, it was renamed after the Carnation Revolution on April 25, 1974, in commemoration of the end of the dictatorship. It is a vital structure that carries both vehicles and trains.
