Coimbra is called the "city of students" - and this is no coincidence, because there is the oldest university in Portugal, located in the upper part of the city. Its vast university complex is divided into 2 parts - Alta and Sofia and still keeps its centuries-old student traditions and customs. Acquaintance with this educational institution often begins with its spacious courtyard, which is surrounded on three sides by university buildings with beautifully designed facades, and on its fourth side there is a terrace with a wonderful view of the city and the Mondego River. Also there you can see a high bell tower with a clock and a statue of King Joã o III, who patronized the university.
Be sure to visit the University of its internal premises, classrooms and halls for ceremonial events, the beautiful chapel of St. Michael the Archangel and the luxurious Joanina library, decorated in a baroque stele. Entrance to the most interesting parts of this educational institution is paid.
Walking around Coimbra, you can often see students of this university dressed in long black robes with colored ribbons attached, indicating belonging to a particular faculty. An interesting fact is that the author of the famous Harry Potter, JK Rowling, borrowed the image of Coimbra students to describe the fantasy world of the Hogwarts Wizarding Academy.
From its inception to the present day, the University of Coimbra has been the largest center of science and education in Portugal.
