Find correct name
The airport is not listed as João Paulo II anywhere.
The airport's own website calls itself simply Ponta Delgada, and has no mention of João Paulo.
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).
Interesting point. The Grove mentions the work of Landi at Belém, Brazil as being (perhaps) influenced by the Pombaline style. It seems a good bet Brazilian neoclassicism owes some sort of debt to Lisbon. Twospoonfuls17:21, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting article - but there aren't any sources. It looks like a private study rather than a wikipedia article. One point I am particularly interested in is whether the Pombal design is really all that seismically resistant. My feeling is that it is not. I will see if I can get anything on this.

There is detailed info about the anti-seismic features of Manuel de Maia's designs in Nicholas Shrady's book about Lisbon Earthquake: The Last Day: Wrath, Ruin, and Reason in the Great Lisbon Earthquake of 1755, Nicholas Shrady, Penguin, 2008. [1]Mick gold (talk) 06:47, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
"The construction of new palaces is regulated and unostentatious designs rejected (a very unpopular situation among the aristocracy), allowing for decoration only in the portal." Is this correct: unostentatious designs rejected? "allowing for decoration only in the portal" would imply that ostentatious designs were rejected.
