I introduce the old city of Coimbra being town of the university today.
It is in the middle inland of Lisbon and Porto here.
今日は、コインブラの旧市街、大学の町を紹介します。
ここはリスボンとポルトの中間の内陸部にあります。

Coimbra

It is the third city following Lisbon and Porto.
Strangely, together with 3 cities, the old city spreads out in the hill of the north side of the river flowing through the east and west.
In the middle of the 12th century, from the founding of a nation of Portugal, it was capital city here, and there is the oldest university here.

コインブラ
リスボン、ポルトに次ぐポルトガル第3の都市です。
不思議なことに3都市とも, 東西に流れる川の北側の丘に旧市街が広がる。
ここは12世紀中頃、ポルトガル建国時からの首都で、ポルトガル最古の大学です。

At first we go to the university on the hill by bus, do the sightseeing on foot from there, and go down to Largo da Portagem.

Upper photo: There is main gate of the Manueline style in the center.
If we enter it, there is the former school building.
Central left photo:  A new school building.
Central right photo: Two part-time students who sell the tourist brochure of the university in the former school building.
The black cloth is the school uniform, and the hem of the mantle is ripped apart in large numbers at the time of their graduation.
As there were foreign students from Brazil, I thought of the strong relation between both countries from the colony times.

Lower photo: I overlooked Rio Mondego(river) from the open space of the former school building.

観光は、先ずバスで丘の上の大学に行き、そこから徒歩で観光し、ポルタジェン広場まで下る。
上図: 中央にマニエル様式の「鉄の門」があり、そこを入ると旧校舎です。
中央左図: 新校舎。
中央右図: 旧校舎内で、大学の観光パンフレットを販売しているアルバイト学生。
この黒い服が学生服で、卒業時にはマントの裾が幾重にも引き裂かれる。
ブラジルからの留学生がおり、植民地時代からの強い繋がりを思わせる。

There is a library in the left, next a chapel and a clock tower, and a hall in the back
A gate of the right side in the back is the main gate that we have entered through.
Before, it was a palace.
We did the sightseeing of admission in the library and the chapel.

We went out of the university premises, went down a little, and we arrived it.
In the twelfth century of the founding of a nation, this church was built and also doubled as a fortress.
The whole appearance and the front gate is a Romanesque style, and the northern gate was rebuilt in a Renaissance style.
