Fonte dos Amores - Quinta das Lagrimas, Coimbra
These are the arches at the Fonte dos Amores (Spring of Lovers) at the Quinta das Lagrimas (Estate of Tears) in Coimbra.
This is the area where Inês de Castro was assassinated. Certainly the turning point of the epic Portuguese love story of Pedro and Inês.
These arches always fascinated me. For many years I thought these arches were the background to the following painting depicting Inês' assassination.

However, I later found out that the arches were constructed much later.
