Going on this immersive experience, you will walk through the streets of the lost city, re-visit the horrors and wonders of that era, and watch the drama unfold before you. Get to know the heroes and villains from that time and enjoy being at the heart of the action leading to a major political, scientific and historical transformation all over the world.
At Quake you will have the opportunity to relive this extraordinary earthquake - reproduced by a simulator in a safe environment, using video mapping and special effects. Through interactive stations you will also be able to learn more on the origin of earthquakes and tsunamis and better understand why Lisbon was so affected in 1755.
At Quake, knowledge has a special place.

With Quake, be prepared and expect the unexpected.
