Capital of Portugal since 1255, Lisbon was considered the jewel of the Atlantic by the Roman emperor Augustus, having been conquered in the Middle Ages by the legions of North Africa. Later, under Portuguese rule, it came to be considered the most important port in the world, as the embarkation pier for the Portuguese caravels that led, more than 500 years ago, to the golden age of discoveries.
