Since it is no longer the Age of Discovery

It'For Portugal, it was a symbolic gateway to the sea for Portugal during the Age of Discovery. For Portugal, it was a symbolic gateway to the sea during the Age of Discovery.

Countless Portuguese fleets departed from Lisbon, sailing to Africa, Brazil, Malaccysia and even Japan. Countless Portuguese fleets departed from Lisbon, sailing to Africa, Brazil, Malaysia and even Japan.

If you mean the city in Malaysia, it would be better to just say Malaysia.

Your speaking about the past, so the complete sentence must be in that tense.

NYet no matter what wonders they saw, what riches they found, they always yearned to return to Lisbon. Yet no matter what wonders they saw, what riches they found, they always yearned to return to Lisbon.

I'd add a "yet" here as this directly opposes your previous sentence - as in, they were drawn outwards YET they also wanted to return home.

NHowever, no matter what wonders they saw, and what riches they found, they always yearned to return to Lisbon. However, no matter what wonders they saw, and what riches they found, they always yearned to return to Lisbon.

Because your previous sentence explains a contrary sentiment (they yearned to travel) to this one (while away, they wanted to return home), it would sound better to start this sentence with a however/ but to emphasize that contrast
