The 7th centenary celebration, taking place around 2025, includes exhibitions, cultural events, and educational activities in places such as Lisbon and Coimbra. These events honor his legacy as a king who helped strengthen Portugal economically, culturally, and intellectually, leaving a lasting impact on the nation’s development.
