Viseu, Portugal The town of Viseu is lodged in history as an strategically important crossroad and the Romans kept here a strong garrison and their buildings are recorded as covering a total of 38 square hectares of land. The Romans were later ousted by the Suevi who with the local inhabitants converted to the Catholic religion in 6th Century. This tribe of Vandals were in turn ousted by the Visigoths in the 7th Century who were later to be conquered by the Moors. These last occupiers of Viseu were in turn conquered by King Alfonso V of León who later included it in the County of Portucale. When Dom Afonso created the Kingdom of Portugal the town became an integral part and has remained such with the occasional interference of both Spain and France. Rate my photo: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
