Praça Luís de Camões

Square of Luis Camoes is also known as “Largo do Camões,” this square separates Sheaado and Bairro Alto. At the center is a bronze statue of poet Luís de Camões inaugurated in 1867, surrounded by eight smaller statues representing other personalities from Portuguese literature. Images of mermaids and ships created in cobblestone around the pedestal evoke Camões’ epic poem "The Lusiads." 
Behind the statue is a kiosk serving refreshments from morning to night. 
The square is one of the city’s favorite meeting places, especially at night, and is also one of the main stops of tram 28, and the terminal of tram 24.
