The city appears serene and untouched, with its historic buildings lining the coast as ships sail peacefully in the sea. This view provides a window into a time long gone, showcasing the beauty and grandeur of Lisbon in the mid-18th century.
The image is steeped in history, offering viewers a chance to imagine what life was like in this bustling port city before it was forever changed by natural disaster. The architecture is intricate and detailed, reflecting the wealth and sophistication of Lisbon during this period.
