Bragança. From its Origins to the Liberal Revolution of 1820
Following the project "Bragança in the Contemporary Age (1820-2012)", developed by CEPESE and resulting in a two-volume publication released in 2013, this research project aimed to continue the study and publication of the history of Bragança, extending from its prehistoric origins to 1820. The focus was on providing a rigorous and critical account of the city's evolution within the national and Iberian context.
With a research team of over twenty investigators, the project set out to analyze the administrative evolution, demographic structures, economic, social, and cultural aspects of the city, as well as its political reality, heritage, and urban transformations. The project aimed to complete a comprehensive historical study of Bragança. In 2019, the study was published in two volumes. This publication received the prestigious Graphis Awards in 2020.
