SIC Notícias13 September 2026 at 10:00

A train enthusiast decided to transform his private garden into a railway line, creating a project that became a hit among neighborhood children. The space, which started modestly, ended up becoming a local attraction that draws the youngest ones.

The initial project featured a 200-meter-long line, along with a service station, a stop, and a camping area. These elements allowed for the creation of a diverse and complete environment for young train enthusiasts.

Over the years, the garden owner has been progressively expanding the railway line. Currently, the project spans more than three times its original length, demonstrating this train enthusiast's ongoing commitment and dedication.

The project's success is evident in children's reactions, who show great enthusiasm and joy when using the railway line. The transformed garden has become a space for fun and learning for the youngest members of the community.

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.
