In the game
Shay goes looking for a Precursor site in Lisbon and sets off the 1755 earthquake, the moment that turns him against the Assassins.
The real place
The 1755 earthquake, tsunami and fires destroyed much of the city; the roofless Carmo Convent was left in ruins as a memorial.
Visiting
Visit the Carmo Convent ruins, then walk down to the rebuilt Baixa and Praça do Comércio.
