The Municipality of Murça illuminated the Town Hall facade with pink tones during the last fortnight of October, joining the commemorations of the National Breast Cancer Prevention Day and the 'Pink October' campaign.

The initiative, with a strong symbolic character, had the main objective of raising public awareness about the vital importance of preventive screening and early diagnosis of the disease. By “dressing” the Municipal Council building in this color, the local authority publicly highlighted its commitment to the cause, seeking to alert the local community to the need for everyone to stay informed and attentive to breast health.
In addition to calling for prevention, the facade lighting also served to honor and reinforce the importance of supporting women affected by this pathology, while simultaneously underlining the urgency of continuous advancement in medical research in the field of oncology.
With this striking visual intervention in the town center, the Douro municipality joined the national wave of solidarity and awareness that marks October each year, leaving the population with a clear message of hope and encouragement for proactive health care.
