The Cavalry Regiment No. 3 (RC3) celebrates on September 15 its 319 years of existence, a date that marks over three centuries of service, dedication, and loyalty to Portugal and the Estremoz community. Since its creation, the RC3 has held a prominent place as a symbol of military prestige, maintaining a close connection to the municipality.
The official military ceremonies will take place on September 15, at 8:30 PM, near the Estremoz City Hall. The ceremony will also be a tribute to all military personnel who, over the years, contributed to the RC3's mission.
The celebrations continue between September 16 and 19 with an exhibition at Parada MACONTENE at RC3, titled "From the Horse to the LEOPARD 2A6 Battle Tank in an Operational Theater." The exhibition will be open to the public daily, between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM.
Over 319 years of history, the RC3 has built a deep connection to Portugal and, particularly, to Estremoz, where the Regiment found its home. The ceremony is open to the public.
