This is the square at the main entrance of the Fort of São Lourenço (St Lawrence). It was opened when the Teatro Grande was demolished, during the governorship of Dom Álvaro da Costa Macedo. Before this theatre disappeared, two narrow streets ran alongside part of the fortress walls and led to its main entrance. The name given to the square recalls the restoration of the Constitutional Charter (Carta Constitucional) on 5 June 1834.
