Description
The sweeping and impressive Marquis de Pombal Square in downtown Lisbon, with its roundabout, gorgeous landscaping, and stunning ocean vistas, includes at its center a monument in honor of Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, "the prime minister responsible for the rebuilding of Lisbon following the Great Earthquake in 1755." The monument is comprised of a tall column topped by the Marquis' statue, as well as many other carved images surrounding the bottom. This is one of those statues, caught against a backdrop of billowing white clouds.
