Freedom Avenue is located in Lisbon, Portugal. It is 1.2 kilometers long and 90 meters wide. It is known as the Champs Elysees Street in Lisbon. Its northern section is connected to the Marquis Plaza of Pombar, and its southern end is connected to Rossio Plaza. On November 1, 1755, a rare earthquake struck Lisbon, razing two-thirds of the city's buildings. It was the weekend when many people gathered in churches for mass, so the casualties were very heavy, with about 60,000 people dead. Marquis Bombar, then Portuguese Prime Minister, was commissioned to rebuild Lisbon. In commemoration of Bombar's contribution, in May 1926, a square named after him was laid, that is, Marquis Plaza of Bombar at the northern end of Freedom Avenue. In May 1934, his bronze statue was erected. We went to the park at the north end for a rest and then started south from Marquis Square in Bombar. It's very hot. Fortunately, the pavements on both sides of the road are densely planted and there are chairs for pedestrians to rest on. We walked all the way to the Monument of Independence and returned. Further ahead is the end of Freedom Avenue, Rossio Square, which I visited the day before. It's a good avenue for shopping, leisure and looking at the streets, buildings and sculptures of Lisbon.
