Known in Portugal as Lisboa, the city was inhabited by the Romans, the
Visigoths and, beginning in the eighth century, the Moors. Tragedy struck on
All Saints’ Day in 1755, with a devastating earthquake that killed about
40,000 people. As a result, the Baixa (lower city) emerged in a single phase
of building, carried out in less than a decade by the royal minister, the
Marques de Pombal. In the Belem suburb, which survived the destruction, and
the old Moorish section of the Alfama, sprawling below the castle of St.
George, there are still remains of pre-quake Lisbon.
