The Pombaline Baixa, a testament to Lisbon's resilience, is a historic district rebuilt in the aftermath of the 1755 earthquake. Named after the Marquis of Pombal, who led the reconstruction, this area is characterized by its neoclassical architecture and grid-like street plan, a stark contrast to the organic layout that preceded the disaster. Today, it stands as a vibrant hub, blending the charm of its classical buildings with the dynamism of modern life.
