Then, enjoy some time walking in the downtown city center and visit many other important monuments in the city. One of the most important is the Old Cathedral, a Romanesque building. Built when Afonso Henriques declared himself King of Portugal and chose Coimbra as the kingdom’s capital.
After the extinction of the Knights Templars in 1312, King Dinis creates a new religious militia the Military Order of Our Lord Jesus Christ, claiming the need to defend Portugal from Islam. Regarded as one of the greatest monastic complexes in Europe, UNESCO classifies it as a world heritage site since 1983. Inside you can see the Charola; the Knights’ round temple, the unique ‘Western window’ designed in Portuguese late gothic style, and the main cloister, a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture.

Portugal’s religious capital attracts millions of pilgrims every year, due to its mystical power and atmosphere. It can hold about 300 thousand faithful at the same time and is twice the size of St. Peter’s Square in the Vatican city.
The Church of the Holy Miracle (Igreja do Santíssimo Milagre) is home to a 13th-century Eucharistic miracle. The shrine is among the most famous of its kind.
