Lisbon From the 1755 Tsunami to the Age of Tourism - Private walking tour
Overview
This tour offers a perfect introduction to the "infamous" 1755 earthquake - a time machine style of ride that will make you zig zag through the memories of a city stuck by a dreadful natural disaster. This is not virtual reality, but the true intimate experience of a city where everything is before or after 1755.
The Portuguese capital was the most stunning city in Europe during the Maritime Discoveries era, which started in the early 15th century. However, on November 1, 1755 this cosmopolitan city was ravaged by a hideous earthquake, followed by a tsunami - the first such event fully documented in modern European history. The city lost no time looking back and just a couple of years later started the herculean task of its own resurrection, rebuilding from scratch the Downtown and the surrounding area. In this tour we explore and compare a selection of amazing Medieval buildings that survived with the majestic Rational city planned and rebuilt after the tragedy.
