Conference Almada: 50 Years of City, 50 Years of Freedom

The conference Almada: 50 Years of City, 50 Years of Freedom is dedicated to celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of Almada's elevation to the city category. The transition from town to City was enshrined in the June 16, 1973 diploma, considering the great demographic and urban development, the existence of communication routes, public services and the economic, social and cultural dynamics that characterized Almada.

The April Revolution of 1974 occurred and, two years later, in December 1976, the first local elections were held in Almada.

50 years have passed. Almada underwent a profound transformation following the changes that marked the country, confirming a position of great importance among the main Portuguese cities.
