About 300,000 people marched through streets in the Portuguese capital Lisbon on Saturday to protest the US-led military attacks on Iraq.
The demonstrators marched peacefully from Marques Pombal Squareto Rosio Square in downtown Lisbon, chanting "Yes to peace, no to war" and "Stop the military intervention of Iraq."
City authorities said the march proceeded without major incidents.
The march was called by leaders of some Portuguese organizations and major opposition parties.
Anti-war protests also erupted in other Portuguese cities such as Porto, Faro, Evora and Coimbra on Saturday.
