Before this tragedy, a hospital was located here.
Directly after the earthquake, this area became an open-air market until 1885, when a covered market was built in its place. The market prospered until 1949, but was torn down during that year for unknown reasons. Today, the square is an open area containing a statue of King John 1. It is an equestrian statue, adorned with medallions that contain portraits of Joao das Regras and Nuno Alvares, the two people who helped to bring King John to the throne during the 1385 Revolution.
