Estremadura
Estremadura is a historical province of Portugal. It is located along the Atlantic Ocean coast in the center of the country and includes Lisbon, the capital.
Estremadura should not be confused with Extremadura(1), an autonomous community of Spain.
The name of both regions comes from the fact that they were at the "extreme" border of Christendom during a phase of the Reconquest.
