In Sintra a gala corresponding to the national semi-final of the New 7 Wonders of Portugal is about to begin, with live broadcast on TVI. The event marks another stage of the competition that aims to elect the most representative monuments and works of Portuguese heritage. The gala promises to be a moment of great expectation for the participating candidates.
The Aqueduto da Amoreira is one of the candidates for a place in the final, competing in the Large Works category. This historic monument is represented by a delegation from Elvas, the city that houses this important architectural structure. The presence of the Aqueduto da Amoreira in this semi-final reflects recognition of its heritage value.
In the Elvas delegation there is hope for qualification to the next phase of the competition. However, the natural nervousness that precedes moments like this is also present among the representatives of the candidacy. Expectation mingles with the anxiety typical of those awaiting the verdict of the contest.
