Since their publication in 1555, Nostradamus’ prophecies have generated fascination and controversy. The French physician and astrologer wrote quatrains that many believe predicted historic events and catastrophes.
But how much truth is there in these claims? Here are five prophecies that are considered fulfilled and their impact on our perception of the future.
The Great Fire of London (1666)
“The blood of the righteous will be demanded in London, burned in the fire of 66…”
According to Nostradamus scholars, this quatrain predicted the devastating fire that razed much of London in 1666.
Although started by accident in a bakery, the fire spread quickly, destroying more than 13,000 homes.
Coincidence or prophecy? The exact year continues to generate debate.
The French Revolution (1789)
“From the enslaved people a vengeance will arise, the great will be overthrown from their thrones.”

This text has been interpreted as a vision of the popular uprising that led to the end of the monarchy in France.
The storming of the Bastille and the beginning of a revolutionary movement that changed history fit with the words of the prophet.
The rise of Hitler
“From the depths of Western Europe, a child will be born to poor parents, whose tongue will seduce great multitudes.”
Although it does not mention names, many believe that this quatrain alludes to the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
His charisma and his ability to mobilize the masses, together with his devastating impact on world history, have led to these words being connected to him.
La bomba atómica en Hiroshima y Nagasaki
“Near the gates and within two cities, there will be scourges never seen before, famine, within, pestilence…”
The destruction caused by the atomic bombs dropped in 1945 on Hiroshima and Nagasaki is considered by some to be a prediction that came true.
The impact of these weapons remains a reminder of the devastating consequences of modern warfare.
The attack of September 11, 2001
The attacks on the Twin Towers in New York have been associated with this quatrain.
Although the words are ambiguous, their interpretation as a vision of 9/11 has gained popularity, especially among followers of Nostradamus.
Two steel birds will fall from the sky in the big city, the sky will burn in fire...

¿Predicciones o simples coincidencias?
The ambiguity of the quatrains allows for multiple interpretations, and skeptics argue that it is easy to adapt the texts to past events.
However, Nostradamus’ legacy continues to capture the imagination of millions of people, especially in times of uncertainty.
