José Mangens echoed similar indications of Mafra ; writing in 1936, about the old Rua dos Arcipestres, he parted by noting: "... Mafra offers nothing interesting and looks more like a hinterland village with its huts and ruined portals typical backyard, shielded with old cans ...".

The two main press groups ( Vltava-Labe-Press and Mafra ) are ( completely or partly ) controlled by the German group Rheinisch-Bergische Druckerei-und Verlagsgesellschaft ( Mediengruppe Rheinische Post ).

Mafra () is a municipality in the district of Lisbon, on the west coast of Portugal, and part of the urban agglomeration of the Greater Lisbon subregion, with its seat in the city of the same name.

It is certain that the built-up urban area of Mafra was once a fortified community, with the area of Rua das Tecedeiras being the best example of the walls still being visible.

The details were later immortalized in 1928 by Júlio Ivo, then president of the municipal council of Mafra ( during the presidency of Sidónio Pais, who explained: "... the automobiles stopped and the Royal Family got out, they followed the Rua do Norte to the Rua de Baixo, to the narrow lane that connects the two road, almost in front of the Travessa da Estrela ... On arrival at the Rua de Baixo, the Royal Family went in the following order: at the front, the King Manuel ; followed by Maria Pia, then Amélia ... the King, who accompanied him, climbed aboard the boat using crates and baskets of fish ... the flagman signalled with his hat, and the first boat, the Bomfim, carrying the blue and white flag on the stern, followed by the rows, driving the King ... the affluence along the coast was immense.

" He ," wrote de Mafra, " told his men that they were now in the land he had desired, and sent a man named Herédia, who was the ship's clerk, ashore with an Indian they had taken, so they said, because he was known to speak Malay, the language spoken in the Malay Archipelago.

Largely with the appearance of the eyewitness account of Ginés de Mafra, the only seaman in Magellan's fleet to return to Mazaua, whose testimony reveals a concrete, measurable description of Mazaua, the skein starting from the garbled version of Pigafetta by Ramusio to the mishandling by Combés to Bellin and finally to Amoretti has been unraveled: Pigafetta's Gatighan is Bellin's Limasava.

The first documented work by his hand is Christ crucified with the Madonna, Saint John Evangelist, and Magdalene commissioned in 1730 by king John V of Portugal for the cathedral of the Mafra.

In what most probably was an effort to tame the upper nobility, John V built his own Versailles, the grand Royal Palace of Mafra and the Palace of Necessidades and it's park, in Lisbon .< Ref > http :// www. portugal. gov. pt / pt / os-ministerios / ministerio-dos-negocios-estrangeiros / quero-saber-mais / quero-aprender / mne-palacio-necessidades. aspx </ Ref >
