Good Morning Portugal! Quiz: The 3,350-Year-Old Olive Tree Mystery



Good Morning Portugal! 🇵🇹☕ Today’s **Portugal Club Quiz** takes us back over **3,350 years**!



On this day (ish) in Portuguese history, an incredible olive tree was already growing — long before Pharaoh Tutankhamun’s reign ended and centuries before the Roman Empire even existed.



This ancient tree has survived earthquakes, wars, and empires… and it’s still here in Portugal today.



Carl asks: What is the current state of this legendary olive tree?

Good Morning Portugal! 🇵🇹☕ Today’s **Portugal Club Quiz** question: On this day in 1782, one of the most influential and controversial figures in Portuguese history passed away — the man often called the “benevolent dictator”.

He rebuilt Lisbon after the devastating 1755 earthquake, crushed the power of the nobility, abolished slavery in mainland Portugal, expelled the Jesuits, and created the world’s first demarcated wine region in the Douro.

Carl asks: What was the title of Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo?

On this day in Portuguese history (7 May), the lower deck of the iconic 25 de Abril Bridge (formerly the Salazar Bridge) in Lisbon was officially inaugurated for rail traffic. Before this, the bridge only carried cars.

The addition of the Fertagus train line revolutionised commuting between Lisbon and the South Bank – drastically cutting traffic and travel time.

Carl asks: In what year did the first train finally cross the lower deck to Setúbal?
