Context & Explainers
Belém is the presidential palace (Palácio de Belém), the official residence and workplace of Portugal's president; it has served as the presidential seat since 1911 and sits in the Belém district of Lisbon near the Tagus River. The incoming president will be sworn in there on 9 March, and those in Lisbon may see public events or media coverage around the palace during the inauguration.
