Portugal
  • 1920: Miguel II of Braganza, head of the Miguelist branch of the Portuguese royal house and lifelong exile, formally renounces his claim to the Portuguese throne in favour of his son Duarte Nuno of Braganza. The act helps reconcile the two surviving lines of the dynasty and clears the way for the eventual unification of the Casa Real de Bragança after the death of Manuel II.
  • 2001: Death of Marshal Francisco da Costa Gomes in Lisbon, aged 87. Career soldier, Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces and President of the Portuguese Republic from 1974 to 1976, he was — alongside António de Spínola — the senior military figure of the Carnation Revolution and the man who guided Portugal through the most turbulent phase of decolonisation and the transition to democracy.

  • 1556: Death of Saint Ignatius of Loyola in Rome. The former Basque soldier turned mystic, founder of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits), shaped the Catholic Counter-Reformation, the missions to Asia and the Americas — including Portuguese-led ones — and the modern history of education.

Santo Tirso delivers nine equipped T0 studio apartments

📍 Santo Tirso🏠 Property#local-accommodation+2 more

Observador reports the Santo Tirso municipal chamber has handed over nine equipped T0 apartments (studio flats) as part of local housing provision. The delivery is aimed at immediate housing needs and may signal more municipal allocations or social‑housing steps locally. Those looking for entry‑level or social housing in Santo Tirso should check the Câmara Municipal's application rules and waiting lists.

A studio (T0) is a one-room apartment with no separate bedroom, so living, sleeping and often kitchen areas share the same space. In Portugal listings T0 means zero bedrooms; these units are typically 20–40 m², usually the cheapest rental option and popular with students or single residents, so check whether the listing includes a full kitchen or only a kitchenette.
