In 1809, following Napoleon’s second incursion into Portugal, the British army, an ally of Portugal, under the command of Arthur Wellesley (who would later become the Duke of Wellington), constructed three defensive lines comprising 152 fortifications spread across 40 km around Lisbon to thwart any potential future invasions. Particular sections of this remarkable strategic construction are still visible today and can be further understood at one of its six interpretation centers. Experience history up close by visiting this verdant, mountainous area. The failure of Napoleon’s third advancement into Portugal is believed to further propel him towards his ultimate downfall at Waterloo. Continue your journey with a visit to the grandiose Mafra National Palace, which served as the French headquarters. It also stands as the foremost baroque architecture in Portugal. Round off your day with a trip to the Zambujal Fortress on your way to Ericeira, a charming town known for its surfing culture situated on the glittering west coast.
