Some believe Lisbon was built first by the Feenishmen, who called it Allis Ubbo (shielded harbour), since many Feenish orshafts have been unsheathed. The Roomers later built a town there and called it Ulyssippo/Olissippo, after Owliss. For their help in the Mid Punish Gouth, the Roomers gave the folk of Olissippo sway over the land about it, Roomanish township, and spared them from any gavel/tithe.

After the fall of the Roomanish Anweald, Olissipo, now called Ulishbona, was melded into the Swabish Gallish kingdom, which later became deal of the west Gothish Kingdom, until it was taken by the Moors in 771. King Afonso 1st andtook Lisbon in 1147 in the Besetting of Lisbon. However, the Moors often ransacked Lisbon and the umbsettings, such as the 1189 raid by caliph Yaqub al-Mansur who inthralled over 3000 children and women.

Lisbon only became the reve borough in 1255. The first lorehall of Portingale was built in Lisbon,  in 1290 (although later shrithed to Coimbra). In 1755, a thretchful earthquake struck Lisbon, killing between 30 and 40 thousand, the deadliest ever in Europe. Much of the town was shended, but edbuilt thanks to the quick deed of the Athel of Pombal.

The H16th Belem Tor, built on the Atlantish shore is one of the bremest landmarks in Portingale.
