Pombal’s Lisbon

Pombal’s Lisbon

Following the earthquake and tidal wave that destroyed Lisbon in 1755, the watchword for the reconstruction of what would become the “Baixa Pombalina” district was to accept no irregularities or fancies. For the Marquis of Pombal, this was an opportunity to build a new city, a symbol of his ideas and his modern philosophy.
