About Avenida da Liberdade
Avenida da Liberdade (Portuguese pronunciation: [ɐveˈniðɐ ðɐ liβɐɾˈðaðɯ]; meaning 'Avenue of Liberty') is a boulevard in central Lisbon, Portugal. It was built between 1879 and 1886 and designed by engineer Frederico Ressano Garcia. Measuring 90 metres wide, the avenue was modeled after Paris's Champs-Élysées and is known for its luxury retail stores and architecture. The avenue was built on the former site of the Passeio Público, an 18th-century park initially designed for exclusive use by the Portuguese nobility. Despite its name ('Public Promenade'), the park was walled and gated until 1821, when King João VI ordered the walls be removed and access opened to all social classes.
