Bragança. From its origins to the Liberal Revolution of 1820

Following the project Bragança in the Contemporary Age (1820-2012), developed by CEPESE and resulting in a two-volume work published in 2013, this research project aimed to continue the study and publication of the history of Bragança, now from its prehistoric origins to 1820, in a rigorous and critical manner, seeking to capture the city's evolution in the national and Iberian context. The project set out to analyze the administrative evolution and the demographic, economic, social, and cultural structures of the city, as well as the political reality, heritage, and transformations of the urban space.

In 2019, the study was published in two volumes under the title "Bragança. From its Origins to the Liberal Revolution of 1820," a profusely illustrated publication that received the prestigious Graphis Awards in 2020.
