The Portuguese Parliament has formally requested government action to rehabilitate several buildings of historical significance in Portalegre. The appeal specifically highlights the urgent need for restoration work at the Convent of São Francisco and the former Robinson Cork Factory. Lawmakers emphasized the importance of preserving these structures as key elements of Portugal’s cultural heritage. No specific funding amounts or timelines were mentioned in the parliamentary request. The resolution aims to prompt the government to allocate resources and develop a plan for the buildings’ preservation. Local authorities have previously expressed concerns about the deteriorating condition of these landmarks. This parliamentary move signals increased pressure on the government to address the issue.
