Cultural heritage preservation in Portugal and Cape Verde

Overview

Cultural heritage celebrations and preservation efforts are being highlighted across Portugal and Cape Verde.

In Portugal, events include the presentation of the Vela Votiva de Santa Marta de Portuzelo in Porto, a votive candle recently added to the National Inventory of Intangible Cultural Heritage. In Porto Santo, efforts continue to have the Podengo do Porto Santo recognized as an indigenous breed through a dedicated dog show. Other regional activities include a roundtable in Madeira discussing local traditions like the Calçada Madeirense and the Ash Procession, as well as an industrial archaeology discussion in Covilhã regarding the history of the wool industry.

In Cape Verde, initiatives to honor National Culture and Communities Day include the release of a documentary titled ‘Morada di Sodadi’ regarding emigration history, and educational efforts to promote the cimboa, a traditional musical instrument, among students.
