Portugal: Landmarks

About this playlist

Due to its geographic position Portugal was once the trading centre of Europe, not to mention an important nation during the 'Age of Discovery'. However, a series of tragic events – including the disastrous 1755 earthquake – brought this country's supremacy to an end, and many works of art, music and literature were lost forever.
