Estremadura Province, with its rich history, was one of the six historical provinces of Portugal, established during the Middle Ages. Its name, derived from "Extrema Durii," reflects its origins as a frontier land during the Christian reconquest, signifying the "extremes of the Douro" river. The province played a significant role in the country's development, encompassing the vibrant capital city of Lisbon and stretching along the scenic Atlantic coast. Although the administrative divisions have evolved over time, the historical significance of Estremadura continues to be recognized and celebrated in Portugal today.
