The Mayors of Vila Nova de Gaia (1834-2019)

This project produced biographies of the individuals who, over almost two centuries, from the re-foundation of the municipality in 1834 to the present day, led the executive branch of Vila Nova de Gaia, focusing on the activities carried out during their respective mandates. Simultaneously, the project included a study on the origins and evolution of the Municipality of Gaia, the legal framework of the Municipality of Gaia and its mayors, the method of acquisition and duration of their respective mandates, and the individual and collective characterization of these personalities.
