Housed in the East Wing of the grand Terreiro do Paço, the Lisboa Story Centre isn’t your average museum. It’s a fully immersive, multimedia experience that tells Lisbon’s story through dramatic sets, voiceovers, projections, and a powerful earthquake simulator.
Features:
From myths to maritime might: Kick things off with the city’s mythological origins and early settlers, then stroll into a 16th-century warehouse where Lisbon shines as a global trade hub.
A city shaken and reborn: Experience the devastating 1755 earthquake in a chilling, sensory simulation. Then follow the Marquis of Pombal’s radical plan to rebuild Lisbon from the ashes. Bird’s-eye view of the past: Upstairs, interact with a scale model of the Baixa Pombalina and beyond. Track key historic events across the city’s layout and get inspired to explore the very streets where it all happened.
