Total eclipse of the Sun in Portugal in 2026
Portugal is preparing to experience a historic astronomical moment with the total eclipse of the Sun on August 12, 2026, visible in its entirety only in the Montesinho Natural Park, in Bragança .
The phenomenon, which hasn’t happened in the country since 1912, will allow observers to see the Moon briefly obscure the solar disk. For around 26 seconds, day turns into night in the north-east of Trás-os-Montes, in a celestial spectacle that won’t be repeated until 2144.
