Lisbon developed along a deep estuary where hills, seismic forces, and Atlantic access shaped its form and expansion.
The city sits on steep hills overlooking the Tagus River estuary, one of the largest natural harbors in Europe. This geography supported maritime trade and exploration while constraining urban growth onto slopes and ridges. Lisbon’s position near major fault lines exposed it to powerful earthquakes, most notably in 1755, which reshaped the city’s layout, architecture, and infrastructure. River access, terrain, and seismic risk continue to define Lisbon’s urban structure.
