In the capital city of Lisbon, Portugal

 Afonso I, o Conquistador, rei de Portugal (Afonso I "the Conqueror" Henriques, [the first] King of Portugal) captured Lisbon from the Muslims and secured Portuguese independence from Leon, one of the early kingdoms of medieval Spain, in 1139.

===========================================

(in Portugal) Lisbon, the capital and the largest city of the country, is one of the oldest cities in the world, and the second-oldest European capital city (after Athens, Greece), predating other modern European capitals by centuries. Julius Caesar made Lisbon a municipium called Felicitas Julia, adding to the name Olissipo. After the fall of the Roman Empire it was ruled by a series of Germanic tribes from the 5th century; later it was captured by the Moors (in the 8th century). In 1147 Afonso Henriques conquered the city and since then it has been the political, economic and cultural center of Portugal. Today, nestled among seven hills, the very walkable city of Lisbon offers a Fascinating alternative to Europe’s more popular capitals. With a lively nightlife scene, festive markets, and vibrant museums, it provides lots of options to savor a few ("mandatory") glasses of Porto, a generous serving of bacalhau, and countless pastéis de nata. A captivating scene crafted over centuries, the seven cinematic hillsides overlooking the Rio Tejo cradle Lisbon's marvelous panorama of cobbled alleyways, ancient ruins, and white-domed cathedrals. Lisbon's trademark hills are spread across the cityscape like lofty guardians of color and history. Capped by a collection of terraces known as miradouros (viewpoints), an intricate web of unfiltered views over Lisbon, the Tejo, and beyond is conveniently formed. The most frequented miradouros – Portas do Sol, São Pedro de Alcântara, da Graça, da Senhora do Monte, Santa Luzia, and Castelo de São Jorge – all offer stopover points for self-orientation while enjoying an afternoon over bica (espresso), elegant glasses of Touriga Nacional, or refreshing pitchers of sangria -- while taking in this city's breathtaking horizons.
