Two of the New 7 Wonders of Portugal are in the Centro region

SAPO Notícias13 September 2026 at 08:42

Two of the New 7 Wonders of Portugal are located in the Centro region. These are the Castle of Leiria and the Sé of Lisbon, which were elected among the winners of the final vote held during the night. In addition to these two monuments, another five "wonders" were chosen to complete the list of seven winners.

Among the elected are also the Roman ruins of São Cucufate, located in Vila de Frades, Vidigueira, in the History category. The Aqueduct of Usseira is another monument mentioned as part of the winners of this contest that elects the new seven wonders of Portugal.

Why this matters

Readers in the Centro region see two of their main monuments — the Castle of Leiria and the Sé of Lisbon — recognized as national heritage, which can boost local tourism. This result follows the final vote held last night, which elected the seven wonders from multiple categories.

The night when Castelo Branco entered the history of Portugal's wonders

The Garden of the Episcopal Palace of Castelo Branco was distinguished as one of the New 7 Wonders of Portugal in the Tourism category, in an announcement made on September 13, 2026 in Sintra. The garden, a National Monument and a singular example of Portuguese baroque, was commissioned by Bishop D. João de Mendonça around 1720 and became public in 1919. The space is divided into four terraces with sculptures of the zodiac signs, the seasons, the continents, and a staircase of kings where the monarchs of the Filipino period appear in reduced dimensions. The victory represents a moment of heritage and tourism affirmation for Castelo Branco and the region, projecting a space that had existed for centuries beyond local borders.
