Na lista das Catedrais de Portugal vem indicada a de Portalegre e não
é indicada também a Sé Concatedral de Castelo Branco. Não há bispo de
Portalegre e sim de Portalegre e Castelo Branco, existindo por isso
duas sés Concatedrais (Portalegre e Castelo Branco).
Melhores cumprimentos

É possível que alguém crie uma página informativa na wikimedia.pt, para
irmos fazendo um logo dos acontecimentos e cobertura de imprensa? Posso
fazer o apanhado das notícias que vão saindo, e a página pode ser usada
como "portal" do que vai acontecendo.
