This conference is the third in a series dedicated to palaces in eighteenth-century European cities. Following the first conference focused on Rome (UNED, 2019, https://artepensamiento.hypotheses.org/3672), and the second on Madrid (UNED, 2020, https://artepensamiento.hypotheses.org/4467), the third and last edition is dedicated to the palatial heritage of the city of Lisbon. We seek to explore the particular case of Lisbon during the eighteenth century, which the urban plan and constructive history in Lisbon literally were blown off during the earthquake in 1755, so we can actually deal with two cities, one before and another after the earthquake.
The purpose of this third conference is to gather specialists with different areas of expertise in order to delve into the uses and practices of housing in Lisbon during the eighteenth century, taking into account the social and urban transformations of the city and the changes in the uses of domestic space in palaces, either coming whether by long-term residents (the nobility, bourgeoisie or higher public state officials) or the short-term residents during the diplomatic, political and economic missions (diplomats, travellers, businessmen, agents, etc.).
