The University of Algarve (UAlg), founded in 1979, is a Portuguese public higher education institution located in the southernmost region of mainland Portugal, the Algarve, having its headquarters and two out of its three campuses in Faro (namely the Gambelas and Penha) and another campus in Portimão.

Teatro Lethes
''Teatro Lethes'', or ''Teatro Letes'', is a theatre, with adjacent buildings, located in the city of Faro in the Algarve region of Portugal. The building dates back to 1605, having first been a Jesuit college. It was inaugurated as a theatre in 1845. Early history The original building, approved in 1599 when the Jesuits settled in Faro and constructed by 1605, was the ''Colégio de Santiago Maior da Companhia de Jesus'', a Jesuit college founded by the Bishop of the Algarve, Fernando Martins Mascarenhas. In 1759, after the banishment of the Jesuits from Portugal and confiscation of their assets, the college closed its doors and the buildings initially became part of the Royal Treasury.

Carnation Revolution
The Carnation Revolution ( pt, Revolução dos Cravos), also known as the 25 April ( pt, 25 de Abril, links=no), was a military coup by left-leaning military officers that overthrew the authoritarian Estado Novo regime on 25 April 1974 in Lisbon, producing major social, economic, territorial, demographic, and political changes in Portugal and its overseas colonies through the Processo Revolucionário Em Curso. It resulted in the Portuguese transition to democracy and the end of the Portuguese Colonial War.

Negotiations with African independence movements began, and by the end of 1974, Portuguese troops were withdrawn from Portuguese Guinea, which became a UN member state. This was followed in 1975 by the independence of C ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

These imaginary figures sometimes held unpopular or extreme views. Early life Pessoa was born in Lisbon on 13 June 1888. When Pessoa was five, his father, Joaquim de Seabra Pessôa, died of tuberculosis and on 2 January of the following year, his younger brother Jorge, aged one ...
