CASTRO VERDE: "UMBRELLA SKY" FILLS MORAIS SARMENTO STREET WITH COLOR

O Atual - Informação de Verdade13 September 2026 at 00:03

The "Umbrella Sky in Castro Verde" project was installed on Rua Morais Sarmento, bringing color and life to this street in the city. The intervention consists of placing suspended decorative umbrellas that create a colorful and attractive visual effect for residents and visitors.

This was the winning proposal of the 2025 Participatory Budget of the Castro Verde Municipal Council. The Participatory Budget is a mechanism that allows citizens to submit and vote on projects they would like to see implemented in their municipality.

The project was implemented through a municipal investment of approximately 21 thousand euros, demonstrating the council's commitment to responding to the choices of citizens expressed through this democratic participation process.

The initiative aims to beautify the public space and contribute to the revitalization of the historic area of the city, creating an additional attraction for those who visit or live on Rua Morais Sarmento.

Why this matters

Residents and visitors of Castro Verde can now enjoy a colorful and attractive street, a direct result of citizen participation in the Participatory Budget. This project demonstrates how citizens can influence the use of public funds, with an investment of 21 thousand euros transforming the local urban space.
