Review

Category:History of Portugal: lots to remove there
Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

LUZ

The whole Luz concept is very miscontrued. A lot of web articles seem to use this as a source, and they are all getting it totally wrong.

I lived in the Benfica region for 8 years. To explain, "da luz" simply means "of light". By light, they mean god. Lisbon itself is known as the "city of light". The Virgin Mary is known as the Lady of light. The beaches are known as the beaches of light. It's all da luz.

The only facts are that the local church and festivals are "of light" in name. And the stadium almost certainly followed the same concept in it's naming.

"The stadium of light". As in, the stadium that god blessed.

The club anthem has light as it's major concept as well. I'm afraid the whole "luz" being a region or place is a total misconception.

If you are "da luz" you are a follower of god. Simple as that. As far as I know there has never been a Benfica region known as "luz" or "da luz". Other than the famous church and festival.

The stadiums were merely following the local tradition of being "of god". or "of the light"
