Lisbon is the westernmost large city located in Europe, as well as its westernmost capital city and the only one along the Atlantic coast. It lies in the western Iberian Peninsula on the Atlantic Ocean and the Tagus River.
Lisbon is one of the oldest cities in the world, predating other modern European capitals such as London, Paris and Rome by hundreds of years. Unlike most capital cities, Lisbon status as the capital of Portugal has never been granted or confirmed officially – by statute or in written form as its mentioned in the Capital of Portugal map. Its position as the capital has formed through constitutional convention, making its position as de facto capital a part of the Constitution of Portugal.
Due to its central location, Lisbon became the capital city of the new Portuguese territory in 1255 as you can see in the Capital of Portugal map. The first Portuguese university was founded in Lisbon in 1290 by King Denis I; for many years the Studium Generale (General Study) was transferred intermittently to Coimbra, where it was installed permanently in the 16th century as the University of Coimbra.
