A historical timelapse showing the development of Lisbon from its early settlements to the present day. The animation covers the city's Roman, Visigothic, Islamic and Portuguese periods, showing how Lisbon grew, changed and was rebuilt over time.
It also illustrates major events such as the earthquakes, tsunami and fire that affected the city, as well as the subsequent reconstruction and urban development.
The animation combines historical events, population growth and the expansion of the city to provide a visual overview of Lisbon's history.
