The ancestors of the Portuguese are a mix of peoples who have passed through the Iberian Peninsula over the years, including ancient Neolithic settlers, the Celts, and the Romans, with significant influences from the people of North Africa.
Portuguese history and culture are strongly tied with those of Spain, which connects Portugal to Europe and was united with Portugal for centuries. Today most Portuguese names are found in Portugal and in Brazil, its largest former colony, with large populations in the U.S. and France as well.
