Lisbon, 1700s: Between Royal Courts and the Roaring Atlantic
Step into 18th-century Lisbon—one of the richest and most powerful cities on Earth, standing unknowingly on the edge of catastrophe. In the early 1700s, Lisbon was the glittering heart of a vast global empire, enriched by Brazilian gold, exotic spices, far-reaching trade routes, and unrivaled maritime power. From the bustling docks along the Tagus River to the splendor of the Ribeira Royal Palace, this was a city driven by ambition, deep faith, and staggering wealth.

This journey into the past reveals daily life in Lisbon before the devastating earthquake of 1755, uncovering how religion, commerce, urban design, and imperial authority shaped the city’s golden age. The rhythm of markets, the grandeur of churches, the movement of ships, and the structure of its streets all tell the story of a metropolis at the height of its influence.

Through advanced AI-powered reconstructions inspired by period engravings, paintings, maps, and historical records, the streets, architecture, and atmosphere of pre-earthquake Lisbon are brought vividly back to life—allowing us to see the city as its people once did.
