The minimalistic gothic exterior is dominated by the two huge chimneys that rise out from the kitchens while the interior includes decoratively painted rooms that reflect the extensive history of the palace. The most famous of these rooms is the magpie room, which has paintings of magpies representing the gossiping and scheming of the queen’s ladies in-waiting.

  • Hygiea Internationalis
    Regional Dynamics and Social Diversity – Portugal in the 21st Century Teresa Ferreira Rodrigues Introduction hrough its history Portugal always presented regional differences concerning population distribution, as well as fertility and mortality trends. Local T specificities related to life and death levels reflect diverse socioeconomic conditions and also different health coverage. We will try to diagnose the main concerns and future challenges related to those regional differences, using quantitative and qualitative data on demographic trends, well-being average levels and health services offer. We want to demonstrate that this kind of academic researches can be useful to policy makers, helping them: (1) to implement regional directed policies; (2) to reduce internal diversity; and (3) to improve quality of life in the most excluded areas. Our first issue consists in measuring the link between Portuguese modernization and asymmetries on social well-being levels1. Today Portugal faces some modera- tion on population growth rates, a total dependency on migration rates, both exter- nal and internal, as well as aged structures. But national average numbers are totally different from those at a regional level, mainly if using non demographic indicators, such as average living patterns or purchase power2. The paper begins with a short diagnosis on the huge demographic and socioeco- nomic changes of the last decades. In the second part we analyze the extent of the link between those changes and regional convergence on well-being levels. Finally, we try to determine the extent of regional contrasts, their main causes and the rela- tionship between social change and local average wealth standards, as well as the main problems and challenges that will be under discussion in the years to come, in what concerns to health policies.

  • Visit Lisbon, a City of Remarkable Beauty with a Breath-Taking Setting on the River Tagus • See All the Major Historic
    Visit Lisbon, a city of remarkable beauty with a breath-taking setting on the River Tagus See all the major historic monuments in the city & its hinterland Several private visits Museums full of treasures, such as the Gulbenkian Collection & the National Museum The country palaces & villas at Sintra & Queluz are included Central hotel & excellent food in local Quinta de Monserrate, Sintra restaurants There are strong, indeed warm links between the British and Portuguese people, established via many centuries of trade, shared maritime history and royal dynastic links. Lisbon is a city of remarkable beauty with a breath-taking setting on the River Tagus which has long drawn the attentions of other nations and peoples. Scholars argue over whether Lisbon was a Phoenician trading outpost, but it was probably the Romans who first sensed its strategic importance. As ever, this was not lost on the conquering Moors who centuries later absorbed the city (which they called Lishbuna) into their wider territory of Al Andalus. Re-conquered by Christians in 1147, Lisbon eventually became the capital of Portugal in 1255. The city has a remarkable heritage of buildings from these early periods in its history, despite the huge damage inflicted by the earthquake of 1755. In the fifteenth century the city rose to world prominence during the period of the great explorers, beginning with Prince Henry the Navigator’s discoveries. When Vasco da Gama opened up the sea route to India, colonial adventures in the Far East and eventually South America, provided the country with great wealth. However, from 1580 to 1640 Portugal came under Spanish rule, a very unhappy experience, still bitterly remembered by some.

  • The Political History of Nineteenth Century Portugal1
    The Political History of Nineteenth Century Portugal1 Paulo Jorge Fernandes Autónoma University of Lisbon [email protected] Filipe Ribeiro de Meneses National University of Ireland [email protected] Manuel Baiôa CIDEHUS-University of Évora [email protected] Abstract The political history of nineteenth-century Portugal was, for a long time, a neglected subject. Under Salazar's New State it was passed over in favour of earlier periods from which that nationalist regime sought to draw inspiration; subsequent historians preferred to concentrate on social and economic developments to the detriment of the difficult evolution of Portuguese liberalism. This picture is changing, thanks to an awakening of interest in both contemporary topics and political history (although there is no consensus when it comes to defining political history). The aim of this article is to summarise these recent developments in Portuguese historiography for the benefit of an English-language audience. Keywords Nineteenth Century, History, Bibliography, Constitutionalism, Historiography, Liberalism, Political History, Portugal Politics has finally begun to carve out a privileged space at the heart of Portuguese historiography. This ‘invasion’ is a recent phenomenon and can be explained by the gradual acceptance, over the course of two decades, of political history as a genuine specialisation in Portuguese academic circles. This process of scientific and pedagogical renewal has seen a clear focus also on the nineteenth century. Young researchers concentrate their efforts in this field, and publishers are more interested in this kind of works than before. In Portugal, the interest in the 19th century is a reaction against decades of ignorance. Until April 1974, ideological reasons dictated the absence of contemporary history from the secondary school classroom, and even from the university curriculum.
