Description

Portugal is a small country with a perfect past. Vasco da Gama’s discovery of the ocean route to India turned the independent kingdom of Portugal into the leading sea and colonial power within the Western world. Lisbon, most likely founded by the Phoenicians, used to be one in every of Europe’s richest towns within the heyday of the Age of Discovery. As of late, Portugal’s monasteries and churches, its palaces, libraries, opera houses, and museums which have survived evoke past glory with immense work of art composed of coloured tiles and ornate sculptural decor.
