History

When "A Capital" was first published on 21th February 1968, it was - as said on the front - a "continuity" invoking the tradition of the newspaper founded on July 1, 1910. In 1968 it was also established from a split in the "Diário de Lisboa" and as a result of the editorial conflicts in the daily newspaper "Diário Popular". It ceased publication on 30th July 2005, closed down due to falling sales.
