International Congress

Bicentenary of the 1820 Revolution

Assembleia da República and Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian
11-13 October 2021

The Bicentenary of the 1820 Revolution presents both an opportunity and a challenge to revisit and better understand a crucial period in contemporary Portuguese history. The international congress marking this event is designed to indicate the main lines of interpretation that are to be found in the abundant historiography currently existing on this subject, as well as to encourage the presentation of new approaches and perspectives of analysis.
