Monument to the then King Joao V...a generous king but also a womanizer. He was particularly fond of nuns, four of his illegitimate children were born to nuns. He had the Palace of Mafra built in the 18th century. He tried to outdo the Spanish king by having it built even bigger and more pompously.

There used to be a bandstand on this square. This is where the festivities for the inauguration of the lights were held. Today it is a central square that, in addition to a few shops, also has a monument to Joao V.

Just take a look in the mirror, and you'll recognize the true confirmation addict! Why are there two Andreas with the same profile picture? What's the point of these games? I document everything!
