SIC Notícias6 September 2026 at 08:00

A library with aesthetics inspired by Hogwarts, Harry Potter's school of magic, was built on a hillside in China and went viral on social media. The space, which evokes the magical atmosphere of the famous literary saga, stands out for its distinctive architecture and the way it integrates with the natural landscape.

The library's collection includes local chronicles from Huizhou, a historical region in Guangdong province, as well as literary works dedicated to arts and crafts that have been classified as intangible cultural heritage. This collection reflects the space's commitment to preserving and enhancing local cultural heritage.

The library opened to the public on August 10 and quickly captured the attention of visitors and social media users. Since its opening, the space has received nearly 200,000 visits, demonstrating the enormous interest generated by this unique cultural project.

Rossio and the Lisbon of the French Invasions revealed in a mysterious painting... and more!

An anonymous painting from the Museu de Lisboa, previously titled "Junot Reviewing Troops at Rossio," has been identified as actually portraying António Francisco Machado, the first commander of the Royal Commerce Volunteers of Lisbon, rather than the French General Junot. The discovery was presented at the exhibition "3 Views of Lisbon" at Palácio Pimenta, where art historians such as Pedro Flor and Paulo Almeida Fernandes proposed changing the title to "The First Formation of the Royal Commerce Volunteers Infantry Regiment." The painting, which had been hidden for almost two centuries and was auctioned in 2024 for 45 to 65 thousand euros, was acquired by Prince Aga Khan V and is on display at the museum until September. The article also explores the life of merchant Machado, who was forced to pay a forced loan to the invading French troops in 1807, and compares the anonymous work with a print by Luís António Xavier (LAX) that correctly shows Junot at Rossio during the 1808 invasion.
