Earthquakes
Throughout history, Lisbon has experienced seismic phenomena which, with greater or lesser intensity, have produced different types of damage, such as the famous 1755 earthquake, with an estimated magnitude of 8.7 and intensity of grades IX to X, which produced a great deal of destruction, especially in the downtown area.
