...Lisbon’s history dates back to 300,000 years ago and ranks as one of the world's longest founded cities. As the legend
tells, it is a city founded and named by Ulysses, which has its origins in the Phoenician words "Allis Ubbo", meaning
"enchanting port". Lisbon was a battlefield for Phoenicians, Greeks and Carthaginians, however it was Romans who
started their two-century reign in Lisbon in 205 BC. In 714, the Moors arrived and stayed till the 12th century.The 15th
century was the point of departure for the Portuguese Discoveries. Sailors used to sing a song called Fado... Lisbon still
maintaining the marks of its early history, is one of the most beautiful capitals of Europe...
