Antigo Mosteiro de São Bento da Saúde, Assembleia Da República, Lisboa
Episode 12 - 10-05-2020
Constitutionalism was endorsed in Portugal by D. João VI, in 1822, almost a hundred years before the implantation of the Republic. Along the way, the country experienced very tumultuous times, which culminated in the Civil War (1828-1834), led by the two sons of D. João VI: D. Pedro, the liberal, and D. Miguel, the absolutist. Following the victory of D. Pedro, the already uninhabited Monastery of São Bento da Saúde, a colossus by the architect Baltazar Álvares, is chosen to settle there (1834) the two chambers of those who, at the time, represented the Portuguese. Since the 1974 revolution, the Assembly of the Republic has finally become the body of universal representation for the Portuguese people. Knowing the spaces and works of art of the so-called São Bento Palace is to know part of the History of Portugal. A guided tour by the historian Cátia Mourão and the ex-parliamentarian Guilherme de Oliveira Martins.

D. Pedro IV e a Cidade do Porto
Episode 10 - 9-21-2020
Winner of the liberal cause in Portugal and first emperor of Brazil, D. Pedro, the heir to King D. João VI, was one of the most controversial figures in the History of Portugal. And he was the only one who established with the inhabitants of Porto, by tradition averse to kings and nobles, a relationship so strong that, hours before he died, he decided to donate his heart to the city of Porto. It is the story of this unique relationship and the troubled years that mediated the transfer of the Portuguese court to Brazil, in 1808, and the end of the civil war, in 1833, that the historian Eugénio dos Santos, biographer of D. Pedro IV, goes to us. tell by some of the places that were the scene of the presence of D. Pedro in Porto, between the decisive years of 1831 and 1833.

Episode 9 - 9-14-2020
Until the penultimate decade of the century. XIX, the highest mountain range in mainland Portugal was still an unexplored territory. If we do not count with the few shepherds who dared in their rugged peaks and with a pair of foreign naturalists, no one until then knew Serra da Estrela. In 1881, six years after its creation, the Lisbon Geography Society organized an expedition to Serra da Estrela with sixty scientists from the most diverse disciplines - from botany to medicine, from zoology to meteorology. The expedition was led by Hermenegildo Capelo, the hero of the crossing of Africa, and the expeditionaries' adventures were many. On the trail of this fantastic adventure, a visit by the hand of researcher Helena Gonçalves
Pinto and José Conde, biologist at the Serra da Estrela Interpretation Center.

Xiloteca Tropical, Palácio Calheta, Lisboa
Episode 4 - 6-29-2020
A library with ten thousand volumes is an expressive library anywhere in the world. If we consider that a xiloteca is characterized by gathering and classifying samples of different woods, we must recognize that the collection of ten thousand copies of the tropical xiloteca stored in the Calheta Palace is exceptional. All the more so since many of the botanical species present here have already become extinct in nature.
This surprising collection, today under the responsibility of the University of Lisbon, was brought together over a hundred years, with particular relevance to the years of scientific missions that the Estado Novo promoted in the so-called "Portuguese Africa" during the 40s, 50s and 60th century. XX.

To know the history of this beautiful garden is to know part of the history of Portugal's investment in seeking knowledge about overseas agricultural products. From D. João V to the State of Salazar.

Giovanni Boccaccio, the Italian writer of the century. XIV, produced his masterpiece, Decameron, in the aftermath of the Black Death that devastated a third of the European population.

In Terena, in the Alentejo region, a small church-fortress from the 19th century. XIV still stands as a singular (and perfect) witness to a time of frenzy, distrust and fear. But the Church of Boa Nova de Terena also tells many other stories, some of them mysterious.

Episode 12 - 5-19-2014
The African collection of the National Museum of Ethnology is one of the best in the world. So much so that the Museum of African Art in New York has held a major exhibition exclusively with the African pieces from the National Museum of Ethnology. But, despite the invaluable value of this collection, some of its pieces are only 10 years old. What makes a drum, a mask or a pot lid valuable?

Episode 11 - 5-12-2014
The portrait of the poet Antero de Quental painted by Columbano Bordalo Pinheiro seems to predict Antero’s suicide which would take place two years later. Columbano never painted what he saw but what he felt and that’s why it’s said that he captured the soul of those he portrayed and the spirit of the times that were being lived. A great Portuguese painter who deserves universal recognition.

Mosteiro de Tibães, Braga
Episode 9 - 4-28-2014
The High Altar of the Church of the Monastery of Tibães is one of the most spectacular known examples of rococo carving. From the 18th century, the Golden Age, literally and metaphorically, the Tibães retable raises a question: why did the Order of the Benedictines, committed to the vow of poverty, order this such luxurious piece? What ideas are behind the Baroque style?

The collection of the National Tile Museum proves how Portuguese tilework is a unique case in the world of tile art. Panels built in intrinsic dialogue with the architecture that supports them or panels that reproduce the patterns of carpets or jewelry are some of the unique aspects of Portuguese tilework.

Convento de Cristo, Tomar
Episode 7 - 4-21-2014
The main cloister of the Convent of Christ is referenced in the history of universal art as one of the most beautiful examples of European Renaissance architecture. But this cloister is more than a treasure of Renaissance art, it is the construction that buries the Middle Ages in Portugal once and for all and aligns it with the new European humanism.

Museu Grão Vasco, Viseu
Episode 5 - 3-31-2014
The first Indian in the history of Western art is Portuguese. Grão Vasco and his collaborators painted him on the panels of the altarpiece of the Sé de Viseu. A surprising fact: the Portuguese arrived in Brazil in 1500 and these panels began to be painted in 1501. Did Grão Vasco have access to the descriptions of the Indians of Brazil from the letter of Pêro Vaz de Caminha? A fantastic period that transformed European life and imagination.

The nativity triptych is a rarity of European medieval art. A portable altar, in silver and gilded silver, with 1.30m in height by 1.50m in width. The nativity triptych is shrouded in mystery: was it ordered by D. João I of Portugal after the victory of Aljubarrota, where the Portuguese defeated the Spanish in just half an hour and with a third of the men, or did it belong to D. João I of León and Castile who left it behind in the flight from the Battle?

The treasure of Queen Saint Isabel and her tomb are precious works of European medieval art. And they tell us other stories about the famous wife of D.Dinis. A charitable queen, yes, but also very connected to power and politics. The miracle of the roses was initially attributed to one of her aunts and only entered the roster of miracles of Queen Isabel of Portugal centuries after she had died.

The Cross of D. Sancho I proves how the first kings of Portugal, contrary to what was conveyed for centuries, were sophisticated and elegant men. Despite the incredible vicissitudes it went through, the Cross of D. Sancho I went through 800 years (almost) unscathed. And it is a testament to the invention of the cross as the main Christian icon.

Sé de Braga
Episode 1 - 3-03-2014
A thousand years is the age of São Geraldo's chalice. A silver piece ordered by D. Afonso Henriques' great-great-great-grandfather to drink with meals. Belonging to the Museu da Sé de Braga, the São Geraldo chalice was made 150 years before the foundation of Portugal and one hundred years before the construction of the Sé de Braga, at the dawn of the reconquest. The chalice of São Geraldo is the oldest testimony in jewelery of how Arab culture is inscribed in the DNA of Iberian Christians.
