Abstract

In terms of population, Lisbon has always been the largest Portuguese town. In the seven hundred years between the conquest of Lisbon from the Moors and the last population census, Lisbon’s inhabitants increased in number from about 5,000 to 700,000, after reaching a maximum of 800,000 at the beginning of the 1980s (see table in page 50).
