Together with Setúbal, Alcácer do Sal and some cities in the Algarve, Lisbon is the oldest in Portugal and also the second oldest capital of the European Union, after Athens, older than Rome by four centuries.

Its history evolves around the city’s strategic position at the mouth of the largest river in the Peninsula Ibérica (Portugal and Spain), the Rio Tejo. Its natural port gives the best conditions for the ships that trade between the North Sea and the Mediterranean sea.
