Redevelopment of Lisbon’s Rossio Square to Proceed
7 July 2020 – The architectural offices of Contacto Atlântico, which is helmed by Andre Caiado, in partnership with a team of historians, archaeologists and engineers, will undertake the redevelopment of a well-known city block in central Lisbon. The project, which has been dubbed the Rossio Pombalino, after the square at which it is located and the 18th-century Portuguese architectural style, intends to preserve some of the city’s long-standing institutions.
The development aims to revitalise the area, attracting visitors to a traditional area of the city. The iconic Pérola do Rossio tea and coffee shop will be maintained, and a large mural of hand-painted azulejo will recreate the 1970s era esplanade. A large clothing store will anchor the new development.
