Archeology of the New Water Paths – Partnership Museu da Luz/EDIA/CM Portel from 10th January to 14th June
Those who visit the Alentejo today are faced with profound changes, as a result of the dynamics introduced by the Alqueva Project.
EDIA, as an entity whose objective is to conceive, execute, build, operate and promote the Alqueva Multi Purpose Development, has been ensuring that all stages are implemented in a sustained manner and in respect for environmental and heritage concerns.

In terms of Cultural Heritage, an area where it made a considerable financial investment in around 2,000 archaeological interventions, it allowed to bring to light numerous archaeological remains preserved underground and, most of them, unknown to the scientific community. Traces identified within the scope of the Environmental Impact Assessment processes, but mainly during land mobilization work, in the context of the work.
In order to promote rapid action in the face of these archaeological evidence, EDIA has been ensuring the presence on the ground of specialized technicians, who carry out the implementation of minimization measures appropriate to each case (archaeological excavations and various records), of which highlight the technical publications with the reports of the interventions carried out.
