Lonely Planet review

Just off the Praça do Comércio's northwestern corner, the smaller Praça do Município is dominated on the eastern side by the 1874 Paços do Concelho (town hall) where the republic was proclaimed from its balcony on 5 October 1910; on the southern side by the former marine arsenal; and centrally a finely carved, 18th-century pelourinho (pillory).
