Coimbra "the city of students"

Coimbra is located on a hill by the river Mondego, about half the distance between Lisbon and Porto.

The main sight on the hill can be seen from far away. However, it is neither a fortress nor a castle, but a university (The Universidade de Coimbra, Portugal’s first university and among the first in Europe) :
