Lisboa

Lisboa

On 1 November 1755, Lisboa was struck by an earthquake with an estimated magnitude of 8.5 to 9 on the Richter scale, followed by a devastating tsunami and three days of raging fires. The city was almost completely destroyed.

Rebuilding

The Marquis of Pombal, Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, was Secretary of State at the time. The king put him in charge of rebuilding Lisboa. The marquis gathered a team of engineers and architects to help him with this reconstruction.

Build Lisboa, on a real map of Lisboa!

Lisboa is played on a real map of the city. While planning the reconstruction of the city centre, it was decided in advance what kind of businesses were allowed in each street. The clockmakers and goldsmiths had their street; so did the bookshops and libraries; the tailors and silk sellers; and the toolmakers too. All of this features on the Lisboa board.
