A strong earthquake occurred at 11:58:28 (UTC) on Sunday, January 15, 2006. The

annual meeting comemorating the big 1906 quake.
I'll give you one guess when and where its being held :-)

What was the palace that was destroyed in the 1750 earthquake?
Portuguese Royal Palace in 1486 in Bussaco or Coimbra? Or Palacio da
