Adjacent to Rossio is Figueira Square, one of the city's main bus and
tram stops, and with a great view of St. George's Castle overlooking it.
The buildings surrounding the square house hotels, shops, and cafés.
Close to the center is a bronze equestrian
statue of King João I, usually smothered by flocks of pigeons and surrounded
by teenage skaters.
On the south side, the charming old "Confeitaria Nacional"
was considered one of Europe's most elegant pastry shops when it
opened in 1829, and still serves some mouth-watering cakes.
