The land within the borders of today's Portuguese Republic has been continuously settled since [[Prehistoric Iberia|prehistoric times]]: occupied by the [[Gallaeci]] and the [[Lusitanians]], integrated into the [[Roman Empire]] and later settled by Germanic peoples like the [[Suevi]] and the [[Visigoths]], in the 8th century the lands were conquered by [[Moors]].
