The small town of Braga is full of historical, architectural and religious sights. One of them is the surprisingly harmonious ensemble of the Municipal Square.
The square got its name thanks to the House of the City Council or the Municipal Palace located here. This building attracts attention with its beautiful baroque facade and an abundance of stucco decorations. It was built in the 18th century. Designed by the Portuguese architect André Suares.
The history of the Municipal Square dates back more than 300 years: once there was a bullring and the main market of the city. In the twentieth century the square acquired its present form - trading stalls were demolished, trees were planted and a fountain was installed.
Walking around the city, you should definitely look at this small square - after all, here you can relax in the shade of the trees of a cozy square, enjoy the play of water jets of the wonderful Fountain with a pelican and admire the beauty of the buildings surrounding the square.
