The Marine Corps of the Portuguese Navy is the legitimate heir of the first military force formed on a permanent basis in Portugal, which was set up precisely 400 years ago, being especially dedicated to combat at sea and on land: the 'Terço da Armada da Coroa de Portugal'.
The historical roots of this infantry force can be found in the various actions carried out by the Portuguese military forces between the 12th and 17th centuries. In the 12th-13th centuries, the main population centres were taken from the sea, as was the case of the conquest of Lisbon in 1147.
