Outgoing streets are Rua Pascoal de Melo , Avenida Casal Ribeiro and Rua Almirante Barroso .
The square has been named since April 19, 1893, like the crossing street and the nearby Hospital de Dona Estefânia , after Stephanie von Hohenzollern (1837-1859), Queen of Portugal since her marriage in 1858 to Pedro V.
