Review

Category:History of Portugal: lots to remove there
Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

Lisbon is not the 2nd oldest capital in Europe by any definition

The CIA factbook cited here does not even seem to mention anything remotely related to the text to which it is attached, "... and the second-oldest European capital city (after Athens), predating other modern European capitals by centuries"

Hello, I'm not able to verify (and have honestly never heard of) the long "official" name stated in this page. I've been able to find a source for it, but it seems to merely be the motto for the coat of arms of the city: https://www.lisboa.pt/municipio/camara-municipal/simbolos-protocolares (in portuguese).
