History

Portugal: located in the extreme southwest of the historic European continent, in the Iberian Peninsula, full of beauty, charm and tradition.

This old country with centuries of history, written by the Seas and the Oceans, has a vast architectural wealth.

Conquered by Celts, Romans and Moors Portugal became one of the greatest World Discoverer.

All this occupations and the golden age of colonial imperialism have left strong marks on cultural traditions and a monumental wealth, wich you can still found along the country.

From the Roman Period, Muslim, Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance or Manuelino you’ll find, from North to South, beautiful monuments that are great architectural icons styles of each era.

The Monasteries of Alcobaça, Batalha and Jeronimos, Belém Tower, the Óbidos Castle or Guimarães, the Pena Palace and the Convent of Christ in Tomar are just some examples of living history that determine Portugal and its people!
