Story · Rua Augusta Arch
You're standing on Praça do Comércio in Lisbon, in front of the Rua Augusta Arch. This huge stone triumphal arch was built to celebrate the rebuilding of the city after the earthquake of 1755. That disaster destroyed much of Lisbon. The arch is basically the city saying: look, we made it back.
