Portuguese Language and Culture

The residence of the Portuguese court in the 15th and 16th centuries was primarily in Lisbon. The kings and queens of Portugal lived in the royal palace, which became an important center of power and culture during this time. Additionally, the court would often move between different palaces and residences throughout the country, depending on the monarch's preferences and political circumstances.

Historically, Portugal was founded after an excursion south from the descendent of the Kings of Castela (Spain), battling the Mours (Muslims) and thus founding the Condado Portucalense (Portuguese County) firstly in what is now northern Portugal and over the course of about a century all the way to the Algarve.

In these battles fought crusaders from all over Europe, bound to drive off non-christians from Europe.

The primary difference between the Spanish and Portuguese empires was their geographical focus and their colonial strategies. The Spanish empire focused on the Americas, particularly Central and South America, while the Portuguese empire focused on maritime exploration and colonization in Africa, Asia, and Brazil. The Portuguese established a vast trading network, while the Spanish sought to extract valuable resources, such as gold and silver, from their American colonies.
