I’m sorry, but Lisbon was declared the capital of Portugal after its conquest in 1147, but it was not specifically on January 1, 1143. The actual conquest of Lisbon happened on October 25, 1147. If you would like more information about the conquest of Lisbon or its declaration as the capital, please let me know!
