What is the name of the capital city of Portugal whose city center was destroyed by an earthquake in 1755?

Lisbon is the capital city of Portugal. In 1755, the city center was destroyed by an earthquake, followed by a tsunami and fires, but the city was rebuilt quickly. For a brief period between 1808 and 1821, the capital of the Portuguese Empire moved to Rio de Janeiro due to Napoleon's invasion of Portugal.
