Summary[edit]

Description

Praça Marquês de Pombal at the north end of Avenida da Liberdade in Lisboa.

Sebastião José de Carvalho e Mello (1699-1782) was an important reformist, stimulating the national industry and signing trade treaties with United Kingdom. His fame grew with the devastating earthquake on November 1 1755, when two thirds of Lisbon was reduced to rubble. Carvalho mobilized troops, obtained supplies, and had shelters and hospitals improvised. The day after the catastrophe, he was already outlining ideas for reconstruction. With architect Eugénio dos Santos’ plans, old medieval Lisbon was changed into one of the most beautiful and modern European cities.

In September 1769 the King conferred on him the title of Marquis of Pombal.
