White Lisbon. The home of the Lisbon Town Council a dignified square where the light can make stone seem weightless.

Let us begin at the The Lisbon Town Council buildings at Praca do Concelho near Praca Comercio and the Post Office where the King was assassinated in 1908. The intense light here gives the stone of the central spiral a gravity defying lightness. An 18th Century construction made from a single stone, nowadays accompanied in the square by more modern playful pieces.
