About the city

A city built twice

Lisbon is a city that, in a very real sense, was built twice. On 1 November 1755, All Saints’ Day, an earthquake destroyed a large part of the city. A tsunami and fires followed. After the disaster, the centre was rebuilt to a new plan — giving Baixa its ordered grid and geometric character. Older hillside neighbourhoods retained a very different street pattern. Each part of Lisbon holds a different layer of its history. nadoloni routes help you uncover them.
