Lisbon, Portugal City Info
Lisbon dates back to pre-Roman times - legend has it that Ulysses founded the city, although it was more probably the Phoenicians. Its early years were a constant battleground, with Phoenicians, Greeks and Carthaginians in turn overthrown. In 205 BC the Romans began their two-century reign in Lisbon, and it became the most important city in the western Iberian region, renamed Felicitas Julia by man of the moment, Julius Caesar.
The glory days as the world's most prosperous trading centre were short lived. The cost of expeditions, maintaining overseas empires and attempting to Christianise Morocco brought Portugal to its knees. In 1580, in a bitter blow to national pride, Felipe II of Spain claimed the throne and it took 60 years for fed-up nationalists to overthrow their traditional rival and return Portugal to its people. By the late 17th century the tide had well and truly turned and the discovery of gold in Brazil saw Lisbon enjoy another period of profligate expenditure. Again, however, this extravagance was cut short. In 1755 a massive earthquake reduced the city to rubble and, sadly, Lisbon never recovered its power and prestige.
Revolution in 1974, in response to the continued unpopular military suppression of Portuguese colonies, brought a a slow road to democracy. More political turbulence gradually changed to stability and ultimately membership of the European Union in 1986. With the support of the EU, and its much-needed injection of funds, Lisbon (and Portugal) finally began to shake off its depressed Salazar-era looks and lifestyle. Lisbon today is a thriving city with a strong economy and infrastructure, a rich cultural mix of immigrants from ex-colonies and a revitalised urban life. In 1998, Lisbon attracted international attention and adoration with its ocean-themed World Expo. Its next major event takes place in 2004, when it will play host to the continent's biggest football tournament, the European Football Championship.
