Bloco de Esquerda takes Lourdes Castro's house future to the Ministry of Culture

dnoticias.pt5 September 2026 at 11:20

Bloco de Esquerda will question the Ministry of Culture about the future of Lourdes Castro's house and studio, located in Caniço, Madeira. The property is currently for sale at 4.1 million euros, which has raised concerns regarding the preservation of this space.

The initiative will be presented by Member of Parliament Andreia Galvão, who wants to know the Ministry of Culture's concrete interest in the property and whether steps are planned to ensure the preservation of this heritage.

Lourdes Castro was a Madeiran visual artist of international renown, known for her work in engraving and animation cinema. Her house and studio represent a significant space for the memory and work of the artist.

Bloco de Esquerda's intervention comes following the placement of the property on the real estate market, raising questions about the protection of the cultural heritage associated with Lourdes Castro in the region.
