Lala
Surrounded by interesting buildings
This square is named after the monument in the middle, dedicated to Prince Henry (the navigator Prince). It consists of a granite pedestal on which there are several sculptural groups (a victor driving 2 horses and 2 newts, an allegory to the triumph of the Portuguese voyages, and a female figure symbolizing Faith of the Discoveries) and bas reliefs of the conquest of Ceuta and the Infante in the Sagres Point. It's crowned by a bronze statue of the infant next to a globe that was made by Thomas Costa (1894). The square is surrounded by interesting buildings such as the Mercado Ferreira Borges, St.
Nicholas Church and especially the iconic Palais de la Bourse, a must-see.
