CAMOES SQUARE Lisbon's Meeting Place
This small square is the transition zone between Chiado and Bairro Alto.  In its center is a monumental statue of 16th century epic poet Luis de Camões standing on a pedestal with other smaller statues of classical Portuguese authors. Behind it is a historical kiosk serving traditional Portuguese refreshments. 
It faces Largo do Chiado, where there are two Baroque churches: Loreto (also known as "of the Italians") and Encarnação.  Here is also Lisbon's best-known café, A Brasileira, a meeting place of several generations of intellectuals and artists.  In front is a statue of poet Fernando Pessoa sitting in a chair, recalling the days when he used to write at this cafe.

It is therefore the ideal pavement for those who are concerned with the environment as it is made with natural stone, an ecological product that is transformed by hand and which, after being applied, causes no problems for the environment as it is 100% natural.
