Coimbra
See all Coimbra Photos
Perched atop a hill alongside the Mondego River, Coimbra has been an important city since Roman times, when it was known as Aeminium. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the city was on its own for a couple of hundred years, and conquered first by the Visigoths and then by the Moors in 711. The city became an important center of trade under the Moors. It was reconquered by Christian forces under the command of Ferdinand I of León in 1064. It became a county for some time before Afonso I, first King of Portugal, made the city into the capitol of his new Kingdom.
