Its features include a cave and a small terrace, according to The Guardian where we first heard about the Principality of Pontinha the asking price was a mere $25,000 (£17,000) That was until the family met Renato Barros — a local art teacher — at a party Barros immediately decided he wanted to buy Pontinha Barros was not a wealthy man and he struggled to raise funds But he eventually scraped together enough cash to buy the fort he declared its independence from Portugal Now Portugal is threatening to reclaim the island "The Portuguese state wants to rob me," said Barros who is now known as Prince Renato II of Pontinha "I'm trying to avoid the blood and war but the Portuguese government and the international community do not take me seriously (sic) my pretensions," he added in an email This is the story of the struggle for Pontinhanese independence.  The tale begins in 1419, when Portuguese sailors led by João Gonçalves Zarco landed on the rock, situated around 70 metres from the island of Madeira, and carved steps and a shelter into it, according to the Principality of Pontinha's website a royal provision ordered that the rock turned fort be connected to the mainland by a bridge Then, in 1903, King Dom Carlos I of Portugal sold the fort along with its dominion, putting the island under public international law, according to the website. None of its owners since 1903 exercised the sovereignty that Prince Renato II claims was legitimised by the King's charter in 1903 In 2000, the Blandys sold the island to Barros. In 2007, the Portuguese government declared the documents signed by King Dom Carlos I "authentic and legitimate," according to the Principality website Renato Barros claimed self-determination for Pontinha and named himself its autonomous ruler Portugal has yet to recognise the sovereignty of the principality while the UN is analysing its case for independence The Portuguese government was not immediately available for comment the official address and place of all official events While the Prince spends much of his time on the island he still teaches at a school on the mainland Renato also owns an art gallery on Madeira and the rest of his free time is spent fighting "23 court cases" against the Portugese government which he describes as being made up of "thieves." There are only four official citizens of Pontinha: Prince Renato II He freely admits that the rest of his family considers him "crazy." he went to speak to the governor of Madeira He introduced himself as the ruler of a neighbouring state The governor quickly offered to buy the island When Barros declined, the governor said he would disconnect electricity to the island, The Guardian first reported Now Barros generates energy for his nation from a windmill and solar panel Prince Renato II is worried about the Portuguese state using "military power" against him to regain control of the tiny territory The self-declared Prince has grand plans for the development of his island which he points out is the "only country in the world 100% self-sufficient in energy terms." "The sovereignty dream is always present," the Prince said "Every man is master of his castle and dreams of the chance to emancipate."

The rehabilitation project of the building was part of the Portuguese “Modernization of Secondary Schools Programme”, which has been implemented by the Parque Escolar E.P.E., since 2007. The Programme’s objective is to reorganize schools spaces, to articulate their different functional areas and to open these schools to their local communities. © invisiblegentleman.comThe facades of the school are essentially constituted in exposed in situ concrete and prefabricated concrete elements, to minimize maintenance costs. The concrete panels were carefully designed to respond adequately to each façade’s solar orientation. © invisiblegentleman.comIn the interior spaces, adequate resistant materials were chosen for an intensive use and very low maintenance costs.

The then mayor criticized the "bad decisions" that led the city to go more than a decade without "your People's Fair" and pointed out that the new infrastructure would not be "an amusement park of some multinational just like so many others"Nor is it the same as the old Feira Popular - the idea was to reinvent the concept with entertainment more attractive" than those of Entrecampos what traditional entertainments they would like to have again (Ferris wheel horror house...) and what new valences they wanted the new Fair to have (street food) the project was summarized this way: "high quality and accessible urban green park; connection to the history and memory of Feira Popular de Lisboa but a project of quality and modernity; objective of rehabilitation of the entire area and surroundings; project with equipment and attractions for families and for adventure and adrenaline lovers; approximately 20 hectares of land (4 x larger than the previous Feira Popular in Entrecampos)" despite being the big highlight in terms of communication the construction of the Feira Popular was not the big priority the new amusement park would not be ready yet only the 20-hectare Urban Park in which the Feira Popular would be integrated The local authority's idea was to grant the Fair to a private entity that would manage it and also the entire Urban Park (which has already had several names: from "Parque Verde da Feira Popular de Lisboa" to "Parque Urbano da Pontinha" or only a green area annexed to the Padre Cruz Neighborhood and meanwhile baptized as "Jardim dos Professores" (Teachers' Garden) would remain A 2018 video from the Lisbon City Council showed the state of the works that year: which does not differ much from the situation that Lisboa Para Pessoas was able to observe this week "Right now what exists is a handful of nothing and still without much involvement from the people who live here who study here and who work here"commented at the time the President of the Carnide Parish Council The statements of the person in charge of the parish where the Feira Popular and respective Urban Park would be inserted are not much different from those he has now made to the Lusa news agency after Carlos Moedas' position was made public "I'm obviously not opposed to the construction of the green park and then if it comes accompanied by equipment for the population's enjoyment obviously I'm not opposed to any of that"he told Lusa the important thing is that the land where it has taken a while for something to be born will be an opportunity for development for the parish and with real benefits for the people who live nearby "That was even the position that I conveyed to the Mayor I said that we were not here to complicate things we saw it as a great opportunity for the development of the parish what we want is that [any] project for that territory be a great opportunity for local development." the President of the Carnide Council also showed concern with the current situation of the land for the future Urban Park next to a giant amount of trees that have been planted - and rightly so - but that we're not sure how often to water."The construction work has been suspended for about a year and the contractor left several boxes of flammable materials on the ground Fábio Sousa also said that the council cannot take the initiative to intervene in the space but it has already told the council that it wants to "be part of the solution"The company has a team of gardeners or even vacation occupation programs for young people The coalition program New TimesCarlos Moedas, with whom he became president of the Lisbon City Hall, was not clear about the future of Feira Popular. O document spoke only in "transform the current Feira Popular project to provide for a new Urban Park"which was already the project underway (as mentioned the Feira Popular would be integrated into this Urban Park) that the will was to equip this Urban Park with "leisure and sports facilities natural outdoor swimming pool in Carnide"and with "cultural facilities" The public tender for the Feira Popular was never launched so it was never clear what it would look like in concrete terms it was decided not to specify what this equipment would be like leaving it up to the future concessionaire The contributions of the population through the aforementioned website could be incorporated into this detailed definition of the Fair The concessionaire would be responsible for all the construction costs of the Fair; the Lisbon City Hall would only leave the Urban Park ready for the installation of the amusement park in an area not exceeding 61 thousand square meters intends to develop the Feira Popular project under a public works concession The concessionaire will be selected through a public tender and will be responsible for the conception maintenance and operation of Feira Popular de Lisboa Given the complete integration of Feira Popular into the Green Park the concessionaire will also assume responsibility for its operation and maintenance seeking to maintain its role as a green infrastructure." "Feira Popular de Lisboa shall be equipped and characterized so as to have the capacity to receive at least 1,300,000 visitors annually privileging a high level of technological integration with an adequate dimensioning at the level of internal routes restaurant spaces and informal leisure areas and the offer of attractions in which at least one attraction classifiable as an Anchor Attraction shall stand out." O Environmental Impact Study of Feira Popular de Lisboa was in public consultation on the Participa website between December 2019 and January of the following year with this process being concluded in April 2020 In one of the documents made available to the population it was read that besides Carnide two other options were considered: one at Poço do Bispo Docks an option discarded because the Port of Lisbon Administration "has not shown any willingness with the Municipality to release the area necessary for the realization of the project"and another in the northern part of Parque das Nações which "has proven inadequate on a technical and financial level due to the expenses required for soil decontamination since the former landfill of Beirolas was installed there and also due to the absence of essential infrastructure such as public transportation network and the subway station" a tariff proposal for the new Feira was also presented: a fixed price of 2.50 euros for access to the fairground within the Urban Park with special conditions for children under three years old a total revenue of 33 million Euros was expected and the creation of about 600 new direct jobs with the new Feira Popular de Lisboa it was estimated between 1.3 million ("conservative scenario based on the last year of operation of Feira Popular in Entrecampos") and 2.5 million much more than the Zoo (one million) or the Oceanarium (1.4 million) You can consult the essential documentation here: The conclusion of the Environmental Impact Study of Feira Popular de Lisboa was essential for the launching of the public tender that would allow to find the concessionaire and contractor who would realize the future Fair in the Urban Park that the Chamber would meanwhile finish the Neighbourhood Association of Bairro Novo de Carnide and Quinta do Bom Nome had been invited by the previous mayor together with the Neighbourhood Association of Bairro Padre Cruz to be part of a committee to monitor the project of the future Feira Popular one after the presentation in 2015 and the last one in 2017 because no contracts were signed"said Carlos Durão referring to the balance of these two meetings THE Associação de Moradores do Bairro Padre Cruz was not available to talk to Lusa and BE have already reacted to Carlos Moedas' statements The completion of the Urban Park and the subsequent creation of the Feira Popular would create a new centrality in Pontinhawhich today is already one of the city's main public transport interfaces - the arrival point of several suburban bus lines the transit point of several Carris lines and also an entry point to the Lisbon Metro network The entire area was redeveloped between 2017 and 2018 with that intermodal future in mind one of the largest parking lots in the city with a deterrent function is also planned - around 1,800 spaces are planned near the Metro station Pontinha awaits the construction of this park that will complete the public space intervention already carried out at the site and that is on EMEL's calendar for 2025 - two pedestrian bridges are planned to connect the park directly to the Metro square and the Urban Park MB
