Announced by the unplanned, synchronous ringing of bells throughout the city, a series of tremors shook Lisbon on the morning of All-Saints Day, November 1, 1755 in what would become an era-defining urban calamity. Beyond the immediate destruction, the earthquake precipitated a tsunami and widespread fires that collectively killed approximately one quarter of the city’s population and destroyed nearly all of its buildings. Both the King, Joseph I, and the Prime Minister, Sebastião de Melo, later named the first Marquis of Pombal, survived.
