You'd recognize this country for its rich culture incorporating fado music, world-famous Port wine, beautiful golden beaches, or even as the home of the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo.

But the Portugal of today carries within its soil the history of bygone eras, one that you can trace back to prehistoric times - there's a reason it's one of Europe's oldest countries.
