El día que el mar quiso borrar Cádiz (Tsunami 1755)

On November 1, 1755, Cádiz experienced its darkest day: after the Lisbon earthquake, the tide receded and a colossal wall of water entered the city ⚠️🌊. Ships ran aground, galleons were exposed, and cobblestone streets flooded; the bay was exposed before the final blow. The wave tore more than 600 meters from the walls of San Carlos, broke through the Puerta de Tierra, and devastated La Caleta and La Viña; Santa María del Mar was flooded. Amid the chaos, Governor Antonio de Azlor imposed order, while devotion to the Virgin of La Palma marked a moment many called a miracle 🙏. This true account of the Cádiz tsunami explains what happened, why it happened, and how an entire city withstood the fury of the Atlantic. Spanish history, natural disaster, and epic survival. 🌐 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Images have been generated using AI; clothing, uniforms, weapons, and buildings are not 100% accurate to the period.
