The Hymno da Carta (English: Hymn of the Charter, modern Portuguese spelling: Hino da Carta) was officially proclaimed the national anthem of the Kingdom of Portugal in May 1834.[1] It was composed by King Pedro IV of Portugal. "Carta" stands for the Constitutional Charter which Pedro IV granted to Portugal. The anthem remained officially in place until 19 July 1911,[2] nine months after Portugal became a republic, and was replaced by A Portuguesa.
