Madeira without any new Wonder of Portugal

SAPO Notícias13 September 2026 at 01:53

Madeira failed to place any monument among the 7 New Wonders of Portugal. The island region had only one candidacy to represent the archipelago in this contest, but did not achieve the necessary votes to appear among the winners.

The event announcing the results took place this evening in Sintra, the venue that hosted the ceremony to reveal the seven new wonders of the country. The elected monuments were distributed across the different regions of mainland and insular Portugal.

With this defeat, Madeira has no representation in the set of New Wonders of Portugal, which includes seven monuments from different points of the national territory. The absence of a Madeiran monument in this ranking represents a symbolic loss for the region.

Why this matters

This news is relevant for Madeiran readers and for those who visit the region, as the inclusion of a local monument in the New Wonders of Portugal could boost tourism on the island. The result indicates that Madeira did not achieve the national cultural recognition it expected, following the island's participation as a candidate in this competition.

Critique: Between the diva and the divan, Demi Lovato makes fans happy

Demi Lovato performed at Rock in Rio as one of the main acts on the Mundo stage, promoting her new double album "It's not that deep," which marks a transition from the furious rock of her previous work to dance pop. The critique highlights that the artist took the stage with a pop diva posture, accompanied by dancers, sensualizing to songs like "Fast" and "Kiss," and managed to mobilize her fandom, who followed along with phones in hand. The presentation alternated between more energetic moments and confessional numbers, such as "Heart attack," a style for which Lovato is known.
