Introduction to the Arc de Triomphe on Augusta Street: The Arc de Triomphe on Augusta Street is located on the north side of the Commercial Square. The original design plan was a bell tower, but during the construction process of more than a century, it gradually became a finely carved arch. . There are four statues on the top, the two on the right are Nuno Alvarez Pereira and the Marquis of Pombal, and the ones on the left are da Gama and Veriato. The two reclining figures symbolize the two great rivers that flow through Portugal - the Tejo and the Douro.
