This section is under development.

     The purpose of this chapter is for you to get to know some Penicheiros with important roles in the narrative of the land, keeping memories alive and underlining the stories of our people.
     Through the videos you’ll be able to discover their stories, what roles they played throughout their lives and in what ways they contributed to the promotion and development of this county.

     We’re going to tell you something about the population of Peniche in general.
     Maybe you don’t know, but during the Fascist Regime the people of Peniche were known from north to south of the country as solidary people. With the political prison installed in the Peniche fortress, the visits of the relatives of political prisoners were a regular thing. As at that time the trips were more limited, long, scarce and with poor conditions (due to the transport system of the time) and due to the poor quality of life of most Portuguese population, people who visited political prisoners found themselves somewhat limited, with regard to, not only transport, but also accommodation and the purchase of goods.
