History
Much of central Lisbon’s Baixa was rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake under the Marquês de Pombal, creating the grid and anti-seismic ‘Pombaline’ structures you’ll walk through.
Conservation
Tourists are encouraged to respect narrow residential lanes, avoid littering, and support small local businesses; preserving azulejos and historic tram routes depends on low-impact visitation.
