Description: This evocative black-and-white photograph captures a moment in time as the National Assembly of Portugal, located in the heart of Lisbon, was in session during the 1940s. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of Portugal's legislative body and the political climate of the era. 3. Context: The National Assembly, or Assembleia da República, is the unicameral parliament of Portugal. Established in 1911, it replaced the Portuguese Cortes Generales, which was the bicameral legislative body of the Kingdom of Portugal. The National Assembly has been the central hub of Portugal's political life, representing the voice of the Portuguese people and shaping the country's future. 4.

Deputies, dressed in formal attire, are engrossed in their debates, while others confer with one another, exchanging ideas and opinions. The room is adorned with ornate woodwork, high ceilings, and large windows, creating an atmosphere of grandeur and importance. 5. Historical Significance: The 1940s were a significant period in Portuguese history, marked by political instability and the Second World War. This photograph provides a snapshot of the National Assembly during this time, offering a glimpse into the daily workings of Portugal's legislative body and the dedication of its members to serving their country. 6. Conclusion: This image of the National Assembly in session during the 1940s is a testament to the rich history and enduring importance of Portugal's legislative institution. It serves as a reminder of the crucial role the National Assembly plays in shaping the future of Portugal and its people.
