19th-century Portuguese Actresses
The 19th century began on 1 January 1801 (represented by the Roman numerals MDCCCI), and ended on 31 December 1900 (MCM). It was the 9th century of the 2nd millennium. It was characterized by vast social upheaval. Slavery was Abolitionism, abolished in much of Europe and the Americas. The First Industrial Revolution, though it began in the late 18th century, expanded beyond its British homeland for the first time during the 19th century, particularly remaking the economies and societies of the Low Countries, France, the Rhineland, Northern Italy, and the Northeastern United States. A few decades later, the Second Industrial Revolution led to ever more massive urbanization and much higher levels of productivity, profit, and prosperity, a pattern that continued into the 20th century. The Catholic Church, in response to the growing influence and power of modernism, secularism and materialism, formed the First Vatican Council in the late 19th century to deal with such problems an ...

Campo Grande (Lisbon)
Campo Grande is a neighborhood and former Portuguese civil parish (''freguesia'') in the municipality of Lisbon. At the administrative reorganization of Lisbon on 8 December 2012 it became part of the parish Alvalade. History In the 12th century, the area was a zone of pastures, vineyards, farms and vegetable gardens and marked one of the entrances and exits to the city of Lisbon. A few centuries later, in 1520, the Campo Grande Garden (Jardim do Campo Grande) went from being a strictly rural area to a public space or patio. More than a hundred years later, in 1680, the first garden boulevard was laid out. The Catholic parish of Campo Grande, which has been known since 1602, was known as "The Kings of Alvalade". This name was probably due to the presence of a small hermitage of the Invocation of the Three Holy Kings dating from the 16th century. This hermitage, partially destroyed by the 1755 earthquake, was the starting point for the gathering of small communities around it. ...
