The city of Lisbon is the capital of Portugal. This city is respected in Europe, because it is one of the oldest. The first settlements on the site of the modern capital of Portugal appeared earlier than in Rome and Paris.

According to most estimates, the city was founded in the 12th century BC. near the Tagus River, which provided excellent opportunities for living. It turns out that Lisbon is older than Rome by 4 centuries. In fact, in Europe, only Athens was founded earlier than Lisbon.

Lisbon has been the capital of Portugal since 1255. Although there are no official documents confirming the fact that Lisbon is the capital of Portugal. The city became the capital by accident when King Alfonso III settled with his court in Lisbon. This made sense, since Lisbon was then already the largest and most important city in Portugal.

Long ago, this region was inhabited by pre-Celtic tribes. Then came the Celts, and then the Phoenicians. The Punic Wars forced the inhabitants of this place to think about building defensive walls. And then they began to build castles and towers here.

In the Middle Ages, Muslims came to the city, who brought with them a new culture. But their reign ended when the Norwegian crusaders came to Lisbon.
Gradually, the city expanded due to its favorable position. As a result, it became the most important European port, from which the gates to many states were opened.

And again the city wants to capture the enemies. Lisbon survived both the invasion of the Spaniards and the arrival of Napoleon's troops. So Lisbon is a city that has seen a lot in its lifetime. But the most terrible disaster in the history of the city was the most powerful earthquake of 1775.

It turned out to be so merciless that the city turned into ruins. But he was not destined to die. With the help of the remaining townspeople, with the help of the inhabitants of the country, it was gradually revived.

Then a new city practically rose from the ruins and became one of the most beautiful. Three revolutions took place here in the 20th century. After them, the rapid development of the modern capital began.

Today's Lisbon is the most beautiful European capital with its sights and legends.
