In Portugal, efforts to preserve regional cultural and archaeological heritage are being advanced through various municipal and specialized initiatives. 

In Proença-a-Nova, specialists and local officials are participating in debates regarding the ‘Gestão Municipal do Património Arqueológico’ (Municipal Management of Archaeological Heritage) to discuss the role of local authorities in protecting and studying archaeological resources. 

Concurrently, the Feira da Golegã has begun a 30-day public consultation period as part of its candidacy for the National Inventory of Intangible Cultural Heritage. This process aims to recognize the unique identity and traditions of the secular horse fair.
