The Jardim do Cerco in Mafra will host an immersive nighttime historical recreation experience, as part of the European Heritage Days 2026. The initiative invites the public to walk through the garden's paths at dusk, where historical figures associated with the Royal Building of Mafra will be brought back to life.
Throughout the route, participants will encounter characters from different eras of the past centuries who inhabited or visited the monumental complex. The recreation combines history, memory, and imagination, revealing episodes and curiosities about the people and events connected to the Royal Building, including appearances of mysterious ghosts.
The proposal presents itself as a sensory and narrative experience, where heritage "gains a voice" and the past returns to Jardim do Cerco through the magical atmosphere of the night.
The event will take place on September 19, starting at 9:00 PM, with six sessions throughout the night. Participation is free, but requires prior registration, with a capacity of 30 to 40 participants per session.
