RIGAL, Francis. The city inside the city: on relational density of a public space in Lisbon. Etnográfica [online]. 2015, vol.19, n.1, pp.99-120. ISSN 0873-6561.

The urban space where three public and central Lisbon city squares intersect is seen as an important node of encounters at the metropolitan level. Thus, it is a living space that welcomes the whole dynamic of a social practice in an updated transnational context. Sociability, meetings, and interactions are discussed in this article to describe a relational city in which the diversity of actors tends to disappear behind a common practice. And in a context characterized by a persistent co-presence, attending the public square is shifted into a shared practice.

Palabras clave : Rossio; public space; relational city; sociability; urban practice; transnationalism.
