PINA (Luís de). O PORTO NA CONQUISTA de Lisboa. Porto. 1947. - PINA (Luís de) O PORTO NA CONQUISTA de Lisboa . Porto: Imprensa Portuguesa, 1947. 64 pp., 23 est.: il.; 245 mm. A historical study published as part of the commemorations of the 800th anniversary of the conquest of Lisbon from the Moors (1147-1947), dedicated to the specific role of the city of Porto and its people in that feat of arms: the starting and meeting point of the crusader fleet that, on its way to the Holy Land in the Second Crusade, joined the army of Afonso Henriques in the siege and capture of Lisbon. Illustrated with twenty-three plates, the volume documents and develops this lesser-known episode of Porto's participation in one of the founding milestones of the nation, complementing the vast commemorative production in Lisbon that multiplied in that centenary year with a contribution from a regional perspective. Unusual and highly valued. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
