Home to Portugal's most ancient, most important and certainly most monumental University which sits at the city's highest point alongside the imposing Romanesque Cathedral with the Jewish Quarter just below, Coimbra, has an immensely rich history which is plain to see.
Originally founded by the Romans, Coimbra was then settled and developed by the Moors before having a stint as the nation's capital in the 12th century. Each era has left its mark but nearly 500 years as Portugal's leading university city is undoubtedly what gives Coimbra its unique character.
Museums galore, a Fado tradition peculiar to the city and walls covered with highly political graffiti are part of the legacy as much as the wonderful buildings, chapels and library of the university itself.
