Praça do Comércio (or Terreiro do Paço) has been described as Lisbon's reception hall and it is certainly one of the finest squares in Europe. The name means "Palace Yard" after the magnificent Royal Palace overlooking the Tagus, which was destroyed in the Great Earthquake of 1755. The open space is about 300 yards square and is bounded on three sides by arcade eighteenth-century buildings specially built to house Government offices, so that Terreiro do Paço is Lisbon's Whitehall.
