Article Section Praça do Comércio I would like to take a look into this article as this particular because it is a town square that has little to no information about it. I feel with enough studying and diving into articles I could improve the article. It is a neutral article of short length that is written well. It is a building constructed in the 16th century for fairly new. All the article covers is the history of the piece it does not go into the cultural significance and the purpose of the plaza.

Casa da Índia Another article I could look into editing is the Casa Da India. The article is written well but I believe there are some things missing about the article. Mainly it is missing a section explaining the building itself and the construction and style. The article does a wonderful job of explaining the components and the functionality but it does not talk anything about the building and the funding the architect's ideas. Though there is a section about the decline of the funding for the maintenance of the building so it began to decline. However, it does not show anything about any impacts it made on the world of construction.

São Jorge Castle This was the first article that I came across that had a section on architecture, but it is not very extensive. The section mainly covers the layout of where the building is and a brief overview of the history of the structural importance in the case of a siege. The article, on the other hand, does not cover anything about the structure itself and any of the style of architecture. I would like to dive into the structure and pick it apart and determine the style of the castle whether it be the renaissance, baroque. Other potential articles

Pena Palace

Igreja de São Roque

Clérigos Church I was looking for an article I could maybe get with two stones. Meaning one I could sit down and analyze while also finding a potential article I could do in the future. When I was looking for one I stumbled upon the Clerigos Church. This article was rated at a Stub-class which means it is an article but it's not quite an amazing one. The article has one reference to the Portuguese Institute for Architectural Heritage. I feel like this is a perfect article to research and add more too. The article mainly covers a broad overview of the church itself. It is very vague when talking about the baroque style of building. This church is very unique to the baroque style due to its size. A lot of famous baroque buildings are very large and very well decorated. However, this little church is small, simple, and stunning. There is so much to talk about between the difference in size and how much detail and visual complexity is in this piece. The article could utilize a strong summary at the end to show the influence of the baroque period on Portugal.

Praca Drafting
The wealth of Portugal was channeled through this plaza and port. It serves as not only a transportation hub but also as a hub for commercial businesses. Having two main directions of travel west and south. The northern side tram leads to the district of Belem and the southern port is a ferry that goes across the River Tagus. The destruction of the palace led to the loss of the greatest archive of Portuguese literature. The library housed over 200,000 thousand books. The reconstruction took around a century to go from plans to finished construction. At the southern end of the plaza at the water's edge has a grand marble staircase meant for the arrival of royal dignitaries. These steps date before the 1755 earthquake and would have led straight into the royal palace. On June 10th, the day of Portugal, the plaza is full of military and residents that celebrate the day. The plaza is home to the oldest cafe in the city, Martin da Arcada. Along with that it also houses the monumental Pousada Hotel.
