Bragança in the Contemporary Age (1820-2012)

The project “Bragança in the Contemporary Age (1820-2012)” aimed at analysing the administrative evolution and the demographic, economic, social and cultural structures of that city, as well as the political reality, heritage and the transformations of the urban space, from the liberal revolution of 1820 up to present time.

The Franciscan Third Order in Northern Portugal

With this project we intended to study the importance of the Venerable Franciscan Third Order in northern Portugal as promoters of almost always remarkable artistic activities associated with the construction of structures fit for their organization (church or chapel, dispatch house and hospital) and significantly supporting First Orders, to which they are linked.

The Mayors of Porto (1822-2013)

Following a previous Project, it was intended with this new project to review and update the information on the biographies of the Mayors of Porto, from the first one directly elected by the population to the current Mayor.
