Summary/Abstract: Within a Europe with frequent change of boundaries, we believe that it is of the outmost value to examine the intercultural dialogue between Romania and, in this particular study case, Portugal. We will attempt to prove the fact that, although located at the continent extremities, the dialogue between the two countries did exist, overall after setting up the very first Legation of Portugal to Bucharest, in 1919. The authors’ entire scientific intervention is based on the thorough analysis of all diplomatic relations of the very first Portuguese diplomat in Bucharest, Martinho de Brederode. The postwar Romania shows a face of crisis, shortage in housing and traffic routes, fluctuations of the national currency, epidemics; the imagine continues with the cultural relations of Martinho de Brederode, diplomat and man of letters, relations established during his stay in Bucharest.
