๐ต๐น Lisbon | Lisbon Earthquake Museum ๐๏ธ๐ฅ๐ฑ๐โจ๐ฅ
Originally just ducked in to escape the rain โ, but this unassuming museum BLEW MY MIND! ๐คฏ No wonder it wins all those TripAdvisor awards ๐ Almost didn't get in without reservation - had to beg the ticket lady who finally checked with her manager! ๐ The 1755 earthquake DESTROYED Lisbon ๐ Right when Portugal ruled Europe through gold/silk/porcelain trade ๐ฐ๐ and religious fervor was at its peak โช. The All Saints' Day quake flattened everything, indirectly sparking the Enlightenment ๐ and city redesign. The museum uses 4D time-travel tech โณ๐: โข Each room has immersive storytelling ๐ง โข You'll "sit" in wooden church pews that start VIOLENTLY shaking! ๐บ๐ โข See the cathedral CRUMBLE while smelling incense & feeling heat from fires! ๐๐ฅ Plus exhibits on San Francisco & Japan quakes ๐บ๐ธ๐ฏ๐ต with detailed survival guides. Best โฌ20 ever spent! ๐ธ๐ #LisbonTravel #EarthquakeMuseum #PortugalTourism
