Unconquered City???

War of the Two Brothers. If the Russian Civil War counts for Moscow, this one counts for Porto as well :p.

??

The Liberals won the siege, the Miguelistas failed to conquer the City.

Now if I remember correctly Lisbon was occupied by the Duke of Terceira, sooooo......NORTE IS BEST!!!!:p
 
Vilnius had been unconquered for over 300 years, from foundation in 1323 to the Russian invasion in 1655.

RCW counting for Moscow is very arbitrary in my opinion - the Whites never reached it and the Bolsheviks took over in a coup rather than via a military invasion - so discounting that Moscow has been unconquered for 400 years, from 1605 to today.

Yeah, but before that the Liberals had to take it from the Miguelistas. It's true that they abandoned the city and there was no actual fighting (that's because nobody really cares about Norte :p), but still, that should count as a conquest.

Fair enough...Viana do Castelo then?

Damn Southerners always sleeping while we have to work, and save the country from the Absolutists and the Commies! :biggrin::p

Venice during the Republic of Venice? Venice was the capital of Venice from the early middle ages to the 18th century. That's a pretty long time and I don't think it ever got conquered. Also, what about Ancient Egyptian capitals during the Old and Middle Kingdoms?

Personally, I see the Glorious Revolution as a successful Dutch Invasion (even if the majority of the English supported it, it was an invasion against the existing state by foreigners nonetheless). For modern capitals, its probably Libson in Europe, maybe Stockholm

Didn't Napoleon take Moscow? Sure, it was a torched, looted shithole when he entered it, courtesy of the Tsar, but Nappy still managed to take Moscow.
 
Harappa? Or other Indus Valley Civilisation cities. They lasted the better part of 2000 years with no evidence of large scale warfare.
