Description

Iron Gate (Porta Férrea) is an impressive 17th century gate that is the main entrance to the University of Coimbra, one of the oldest universities in Europe.

Decorated in Mannerist style with Baroque elements, it depicts the figures of Kings Dinis and John III and allegorical figures symbolizing the university's faculties.

It is not only a monument of great historical significance, but also part of a UNESCO-listed complex. An ideal place for lovers of architecture, history and photography.
