Rome
Seven hills.
That's Lisbon, capital city of Portugal. Rome is also (and perhaps firstly) described as being built on seven hills.
Originally Rome was on the seven hills of Rome (the Capitoline, Palatine, Quirinal, Viminal, Esquiline, Caelian and Aventine. Over time the city expanded beyond this area and come to include other hills, such as the Pincian, the Janiculum and the Vatican.
Rome was not built on hills. Rather, it developed from settlements on the hills in its area which had been there prior to its foundations. The earliest evidence of human settlements goes back to some 500 years before the foundation of the city. It is thought that Rome was formed through the unification of separate settlements on the hills which were to became the Seven Hills of Rome (the Palatine the Esquiline, the Caelian, the Quirinal, the Viminal the Capitoline and the Aventine) into a single state under the rule of a king. People liked to live on hills because they were easier to defend from raids.
