In the center of Porto, near Sã o Bento Station, you will find Liberty Square, surrounded by beautiful buildings from the 19th and 20th centuries. The only ancient building of the square is the Cardosas Palace (XVIII century), which now houses the respectable Intercontinental Porto Palacio Das Cardosas 5* hotel.

The entire architectural ensemble of the square is surprisingly harmonious and symmetrical. In the center of the square there is an equestrian monument to King Pedro IV, and beautiful houses with towers and spiers in the Art Nouveau style rise along its edges. These buildings house various cafes, restaurants, hotels and banking institutions. From Freedom Square begins Aliados Avenue, which ends with the building of the City Hall.

Freedom Square and Aliados Boulevard are the most beautiful and rather noisy avenues of the city. Various celebrations, festivals, exhibitions and other cultural events are often held here.
