Construction advances for elevator to Ourém Castle

Diário de Leiria14 September 2026 at 17:30

Construction of an elevator to Ourém Castle advances, with the goal of creating mechanical access to the monument. The public tender for the work was approved at a council meeting, marking a significant step towards the project's realization.

The planned investment for the construction of the mechanical access is 2.5 million euros. This amount covers all the necessary infrastructure to implement the elevator that will facilitate the climb to the castle.

The city council is the entity responsible for approving the public tender, demonstrating the municipality's commitment to this work. The project comes at a time when there is a desire to promote access to the region's historical heritage.

With this intervention, it is expected to facilitate visits to Ourém Castle, making the monument more accessible to all citizens, including people with reduced mobility.

Why this matters

Residents and tourists will benefit from easier access to the castle, eliminating the need to climb a steep slope on foot. The 2.5 million euro investment represents one of the largest recent municipal interventions and could boost local tourism.

The Superior Court of Justice recognized the right of agroindustries that purchase soybeans with PIS and Cofins suspension to use the grain as input for taxed products and claim ordinary credits of 9.25% on the acquisition value, establishing a favorable precedent especially for the biodiesel sector. The court rejected the National Treasury's understanding that the absence of collection at purchase would prevent crediting, highlighting that the non-cumulative system of PIS and Cofins has its own logic, different from ICMS and IPI.
