History Lovers Talk Estoril

The Carnation Revolution .......

Join us for an inspiring History Lovers Talk on the Carnation Revolution—a defining moment in Portugal’s history. Together, we’ll revisit the shadows of Salazar’s dictatorship, the repression of the PIDE, and the toll of the Colonial War that ignited the will to rebel.

Discover the courage of the Armed Forces Movement (MFA), from secret meetings to the decisive military actions that filled Lisbon’s streets on April 25, 1974. A story of strategy, bravery, and a peaceful revolution that changed the country forever.
