    Portugal

    Culture of Portugal:
    • Literatura:
    Portuguese literature is divided into poetry, prose, philosophy and
    dramatic text. In all these areas there were artists who stood
    out for their genius and for the Portuguese culture rich in
    themes.

    • Architecture:
    Portuguese architecture has always followed the trends of the rest of
    Europe, despite doing so with some delay. It was only with the
    Manueline that a considerable level was reached, in the artistic avant-
    garde of the time, as this style makes a smooth transition between the
    Gothic and the Renaissance. During the reign of João V, Portugal had
    many buildings included in the Baroque style.. The Pombaline style is
    another specific style in Portugal.

    • Music :
    Both traditional Portuguese music (fado) and contemporary classical music
    are highly diversified and dynamic.
    The most traditional music portrays the country's culture and history.

    • Theater:
    In Portugal, the development of theater was somewhat delayed; however Gil
    Vicente, seen as the "father" of Portuguese theater, somehow began the
    history of national theater in the 16th century. The theater captivated
    audiences, especially the upper classes. It was in the 20th century that
    theater reached the masses through Teatro de Revista.

    • Dance:
    Portuguese folklore is very varied, as each region of the country has its own
    traditions. Folk dances are popular dances for everyone. More recently,
    more erudite dances have appeared, performed by professional dancers.
    These new dances arise from the growing openness to new cultures.

    • Historical events:
    - Colonial War:
    The Colonial War is the period of confrontation between the Portuguese Armed
    Forces and the forces organized by the liberation movements of the former
    colonies, which today are Angola, Guinea Bissau and Mozambique, between
    1961 and 1974.
    The beginning of this episode in the history of our country took place in Angola,
    on March 15, 1961.
    The Carnation Revolution in Portugal (1974), which put an end to the Estado
    Novo dictatorship, resulted in great part of political, social and military
    developments. The country's political change allowed the end of the thirteen-
    year war and the beginning of decolonization.
