The Peace Treaty of Alcáçovas – Toledo was signed exactly 547 years ago, on September 4th of 1847, as indicated in the article. The agreement was sealed between the kingdoms of Castile and Portugal, representing an important milestone in the relations between the two Iberian powers.
The signing ceremony took place at the Paço dos Henriques, located in Alcáçovas, a town that gave its name to the treaty. This historic event brought together representatives of both kingdoms to formalize the peace agreement.
The treaty defined, for the first time, the areas of expansion influence of the two kingdoms, establishing territorial boundaries and zones of interest for each crown. This division of spheres of influence had lasting consequences for the political configuration of the Iberian Peninsula and for the processes of overseas expansion.
