Serra de Sintra remembers the 25 military personnel killed in the great fire of 1966

Serra de Sintra commemorated the 60th anniversary of the great fire of 1966, which consumed approximately 50 square kilometres of forest and caused the death of 25 military personnel from the Fixed Anti-Aircraft Artillery Regiment of Queluz. The commemorative ceremony, held on September 7th, included a mass at the Regiment's Chapel and the laying of a wreath at Pico do Monge, the location where the bodies were found. The fire, which started at Quinta da Penha Longa and remained active until September 12th, threatened historical heritage such as the Palace of Seteais and Pena Park, but firefighters and military personnel managed to defend the monuments. Sixty years later, the memory of the 25 military personnel killed continues to be honoured annually.
