The diocese of Lisbon was created in the 4th century, but it lay vacant after 716 when the city was captured by the Moors, even if there are references to Mozarabic bishops, of the Mozarabic Rite, in that period. The diocese was restored when the city was recaptured by Afonso I of Portugal during the Second Crusade in 1147 in the siege of Lisbon. It was elevated first to an archdiocese on November 10, 1394, and then to a patriarchal see on November 7, 1716.

There are over two million people living in 282 parishes within the see, 85% of whom are Catholic. The suffragan dioceses of the see are Angra, Funchal, Guarda, Leiria-Fátima, Portalegre-Castelo Branco, Santarém, and Setúbal. The former diocese of Silves, comprising the Algarve, and currently , was only transferred from the Spanish province of Sevilla in 1393. One of the others Portuguese archbishoprics, Braga in the north, is older: 1104, and claimed to be the primate over all Portugal and northwest Spain (including Santiago archbishopric).
