We did learn a lot about the 1755 earthquake and tsunami that nearly wiped out the town (but not that castle). Also, that earthquake was the beginning of seismology science and building codes. The buildings that replaced those that toppled or were burned (where there are earthquakes there are always fires) all were built with the best anti-earthquake technology of the day, which was developed by the Portuguese.
