Thus, in this research the authors compiled historical documents, including some that had never been analyzed, complemented with a field survey and tsunami numerical modeling at the historical civil parish of Santo Estev\u00e3o, Lisbon. It was possible to identify 13 buildings, including three religious buildings and five palaces. Furthermore, the new data showed that contradicting the general idea, the earthquake caused significant damage to the selected territory because the number of households decreased by 52%. The number of residents decreased to about 51%, and in 1756, 1041 residents were still living in 297 temporary shelters. There were more than 44 dead and 1122 residents were unaccounted for. The fire did not hit the area, and the tsunami numerical model results were validated by the historical accounts and cartography, which indicate that the coastal area of the studied area was not significantly inundated by the tsunami. The consultation of historical documents that had never been analyzed by contemporary researchers provides a breakthrough in the knowledge of the event since it allowed a very detailed analysis of the disaster impact.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/geosciences12080286","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,24]],"date-time":"2022-07-24T22:49:02Z","timestamp":1658702942000},"page":"286","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["New Data of the 1755 Earthquake and Tsunami in Lisbon, Portugal"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9182-7331","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Angela","family":"Santos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Geographical Studies and Associated Laboratory TERRA, Institute of Geography and Spatial Planning, University of Lisbon, Rua Branca Edm\u00e9e Marques, 1600-276 Lisboa, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Delminda","family":"Rijo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"C\u00e2mara Municipal de Lisboa, Gabinete de Estudos Olisiponenses, Estrada de Benfica, Pal\u00e1cio Beau, S\u00e9jour, 368, 1500-100 Lisboa, Portugal"},{"name":"Centro de Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o Transdisciplinar \u201cCultura, Espa\u00e7o e Mem\u00f3ria\u201d, Faculdade de Letras da Universidade do Porto, Via Panor\u00e2mica s\/n, 4150-564 Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Castro, J.
