D. Pedro IV's heart may return to be displayed in Porto

SAPO Notícias9 September 2026 at 12:55

The heart of D. Pedro IV may return to be displayed to the public in the city of Porto. The relic is currently kept at the Church of Lapa, one of the most emblematic religious monuments in the city.

The possibility of a new exhibition arises after a display held in 2022, which is said to have attracted public interest. This is not the first time the heart of the former Portuguese king has been presented outside its usual place of rest.

D. Pedro IV, who reigned from 1826 to 1828 and was also emperor of Brazil, is a historical figure of great importance to Portugal. His ashes are in the National Pantheon, in Lisbon, but his heart was kept separately as a relic.

"The fairground traders are part of the essence of the Feiras Novas"

The article addresses the tradition of fairground traders at the Feiras Novas in Ponte de Lima, Portugal, gathering testimonies from vendors who have participated in this pilgrimage for decades. Conceição Rego, with about 50 years of presence, recalls how the fair was different in the old days, selling on the sand sitting on the ground. Her husband Francisco Rego, 70 years old, sells concertinas and drums for more than three decades, emphasizing that "a pilgrimage without toys is not the same thing." Marlene Fernandes, from Barcelos, notes that sales run better during the festivities than at normal fairs, although the work is intense, sleeping in the van during the four days. Manuel Peixoto, also from Barcelos, states that "the fairground traders are part of the essence of the Feiras Novas," recognizing that the way of buying has changed, but the tradition remains. Despite changes in location and the increase in the number of visitors, the vendors ensure that the identity of the fair remains.
