Coimbra is one of the oldest cities in Portugal, with Roman, Visigothic origins and Muslim influence. Definitively conquered in 1064, it was the first capital of the kingdom when D. Afonso Henriques settled there with his court. It celebrates its Municipal holiday on July 4 in memory of Queen Santa Isabel of Aragon, patron saint of the City. In 1290, the oldest University in the country and one of the oldest in the world was created by D. Dinis. It began to operate in Lisbon and was definitively transferred to Coimbra in 1537 by order of King D. Joo III. Initially restricted to the Pao das Escolas, over the years the University was extended throughout Coimbra, thus modifying the landscape and making it the University City we know today. Since 2013, the University of Coimbra has been considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site, given its unique tangible and intangible heritage, essential to the history of European and World scientific culture. A privileged city for its geographical position in the center of mainland Portugal, between the cities of Lisbon and Porto and 40km from beaches. What connects Coimbra to Torres Vedras? In common with Coimbra, Torres Vedras has a medieval castle and a history that dates back to the Roman occupation. The city of Torres Vedras had its first human occupation during the Roman invasion of the Iberian Peninsula. The fortification of Torres Vedras was taken in 1148 by the forces of Dom Afonso Henriques, whose tomb is in Coimbra in the Monastery of Santa Cruz. It is said that in 1184, he resisted, for eleven days, the siege that was imposed on him in vain by a column of Muslim troops scattered throughout the region of Santarm. He later received the honours of Dom Dinis of Portugal (The Farmer) and was king of Portugal and the Algarve from 1279 until his death. Energy Rating: Exempt House to remodel with approved project.
