General information	Lisbon is the capital city of Portugal and the only European capital with Atlantic beaches. It is also the westernmost city on continental Europe. There has been a settlement in the area since before roman times and at its height, Lisbon was one of the most influential cities in Europe. Sadly, a terrible earthquake in November of 1755 reduced the city to rubble and although it was beautifully rebuilt, it never regained its former commercial and nautical power. A popular tourist destination, you can find information here or by following the links in the Other useful links section at the bottom of this page.
