The municipality of Bragança has launched the ‘Viver as Muralhas’ program, an integrated strategy to revitalize the city’s Castle and Citadel. Mayor Isabel Ferreira stated the initiative aims to introduce new dynamics to these heritage and tourist sites by addressing mobility, public space, tourism reception, economic activity, and cultural programming.

The project intends to encourage longer visitor stays and create synergies between cultural sites within the walls by linking heritage with local commerce, dining, and regional products. The municipality is also prioritizing the reorganization of traffic and parking within the Citadel to improve accessibility.
