In fact, the Marquis Plaza of Pombar is a memorial square for the great earthquake, which was built from 1917 to 1934. On November 1, 1755, a rare magnitude 9 earthquake struck Lisbon. The luxurious and proud city was almost destroyed in the great earthquake - the earthquake and the tsunami it triggered recorded that fires killed one third of Lisbon's population and destroyed 85 (%) of its buildings, including some of its most famous churches, opera houses, palaces and precious materials. It was under the leadership of the then Prime Minister Marquis Bombar that Lisbon's reconstruction was redesigned and a plan for the best urban reconstruction in the 18th century was formulated. In commemoration of Marquis Pombar's great contribution to the reconstruction, this square has been built. The light in the morning is just right. It's very suitable for the front of the statue. We see Marquis Pombar standing on a tall white stone pillar facing the Tejo River, with far-reaching eyes, jaws in his belly, and a confident overlook of the city he planned to rebuild.
