About this listen
Turn back the clock and revisit Portugal’s greatest historical moments that shaped this modern European wonder!
On the western part of the Iberian Peninsula, touching the cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean lies a nation with a proud history that influenced Europe and the rest of the world.
But the Portugal of today carries within its soil the history of bygone eras, one that you can trace back to prehistoric times.
Taking you on a fantastic journey of Portugal, here’s what awaits you within this book:
- The traces and settlements of prehistoric humans that inhabited Portugal’s geographical landscape.
- Find out the beginnings and ends of the Roman Empire, along with involvements of the Celtic, Visigothic, and Moorish peoples.
- The Portuguese Reconquista–explore the medieval military campaigns of the Christian kingdoms that laid the foundations of Portugal’s language and culture.
- In the Age of Exploration and Discovery–climb aboard the golden age of Portuguese navigators, voyagers, and seafarers responsible for mapping the New World.
- Overthrowing of the monarchy and declaration of the First Republic.
- Machinations of dictators and the rise of a modern-day Portugal.
And much more!
If you’re curious about the Portuguese language, its people, and its culture, then this book will be your perfect companion.
So pack your bags, put on your best historian’s hat, and start your time machine.
Portugal and its history await your arrival!

Fascinating!
Fascinating to learn how Portugal is so diverse, rich in culture and how significant it is in the history of the world. Oh those Romans and Persians! They were everywhere. And I particularly loved finding out about historical figures like El Sid and Ferdinand. We hear about these names but don’t really know where they came from. A really engaging book full of historical facts. Highly recommended.
