My Daily Post - Augusta Rue Arch

This attraction is at the epicenter of Lisbon, and one of the defining monuments of the city. It also quickly became our point of reference when navigating through Lisbon as well.

Lisbon suffered a terrible earthquake in 1755 that killed at least 50,000 people, making it one of the deadliest earthquakes in history. There are various monuments around the city to commemorate the city’s reconstruction, and the Arco da Rue Augusta is one of them.
