AB  - This paper examines the transformation of Montalegre, a small Portuguese town near the
Galician border, through the lens of its publicly-funded agricultural buildings and their
evolving functions during three key historical periods: the corporatist dictatorship (1933-
1974), the revolutionary period (1974-1976), and the years leading to European integration
in 1986. These facilities reflect different state-driven strategies to modernize agricultural
production. However, these once-vital structures now stand abandoned, symbolizing the
decline of food production and investment in Portugal’s interior. Yet, signs of resilience remain,
such as the weekly farmers’ market and the recent occupation of municipal spaces by
a new cooperative. This study is based on primary sources from construction, architectural,
audiovisual, and local media archives, as well as interviews and conversations conducted
in Montalegre between February and December 2024. This diachronic approach looks at
past structures to contribute to broader discourse on food production, territorial cohesion,
and food sovereignty.
