Nowadays it is possible to visit the largest protoportic in the Iberian Peninsula, which preserves vestiges of the imposing city of the Roman times, which is nowadays under the ground of Coimbra.
We will make a short stop where we will visit the ruins of an ancient Roman tower, which was actually the base of an aqueduct that supplied the Roman city of Conímbriga, all its population and especially the spa complex that existed in the city.

About Coimbra
Coimbra is a hill city on the Mondego River in central Portugal, home to a centuries-old university, a baroque library and its own style of fado.
Coimbra rises above the Mondego River in central Portugal and was the country's capital in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Its university, founded in 1290 and settled in Coimbra from 1537, is the oldest in Portugal, and the old campus on the hill is a UNESCO site with the gilded Joanina Library and a tall clock tower. Students still wear black academic capes.
