Baixa de Lisboa
Pass by
Stroll along the Baixa Pombalina, which is Lisbon’s historic centre and a key reference of modern European urbanism, rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake under the direction of the Marquis de Pombal. Its grid design, with wide streets and homogeneous buildings, introduced pioneering anti-seismic engineering solutions known as the “pombalino” system.
Under this urban order, valuable archaeological strata are preserved with remains of Roman, medieval and pre-earthquake period, which evidence the long historical continuity of the center of Lisbon. Today, the Baixa combines architectural heritage, engineering and archaeology into a unique urban ensemble in Europe.
