Chronoways map
Each point corresponds to a geolocated chronoway.
Portugal is territorially organised into 18 districts and 2 autonomous regions. For statistical purposes, the country is also divided according to the European NUTS classification established by Eurostat. At the NUTS-2 level, Portugal is structured into 7 regions, including Madeira and the Azores, which are further divided into 25 subregions.
Within the Cronovies project, Portugal stands out for its fairly balanced territorial distribution and for the presence of several nationally significant dates with strong symbolic weight. Above all, 25 April stands out, associated with the Carnation Revolution and the end of the dictatorship, a date that holds a central place in the country’s democratic memory.
Another very frequent commemoration is 5 October, the anniversary of the proclamation of the First Portuguese Republic. Together, these dates trace a memorial geography strongly shaped by the major political changes of modern Portuguese history.
