Currently, the capital city of Portugal (or, if officially, the Portuguese Republic) is the port city of Lisbon (in Portuguese Lisboa). There is no exact date for assigning him this high status.

It is documented that on October 25, 1147, the city was liberated from Moorish rule. And in 1255 King Alfonso III decided to transfer here the royal residence and government offices from Coimbra. (It was she who was the main city of Portugal for a long time.)

In 1256, according to the Portuguese scientists, the move was completed and Lisbon finally became the capital of the state.
