Mosteiro de Santa Clara-a-Velha | Coimbra | Portugal
Mosteiro feminino da Ordem de Santa Clara, com igreja do gótico mendicante de corpo totalmente abobadado.Teve uma primeira fundação, em 1286, por iniciativa de Dona Maior Dias, mas tendo sido extinto, em 1311, voltou a ter nova fundação, em 1314, patrocinada por Isabel de Aragão - a rainha Santa. A igreja de três naves, sem transepto, com abóbada de berço quebrado na nave central e abóbadas de ogivas nas naves laterais, teve como mestres responsáveis Domingos Domingues entre 1317-1325 , Estevão Domingues entre 1325-30, tendo sido sagrada em 1330. A escolha do sítio para a localização do mosteiro revelou-se pouco acertada, pois que este começou a ser molestado pelas cheias do Mondego, logo no ano seguinte à sagração da igreja. Com o decorrer dos séculos a situação foi-se agravando e nem a construção, no interior da igreja, de um piso sobre-elevado, no início do século XVII, impediu a necessidade de abandonar o mosteiro. Com efeito, em 1677, o velho conjunto monástico foi abandonado e a comunidade religiosa passou a ocupar o mosteiro de Santa Clara-a-Nova, entretanto construido em zona próxima, mas mais elevada. O antigo mosteiro que passou a designar-se de Santa Clara-a-Velha foi-se degradando e enterrando nas areias do Mondego. Apesar de ter tido uma grande intervenção nos anos trinta e quarenta, levada a cabo pela Direcção-Geral dos Edifícios e Monumentos Nacionais, continuava até à presente intervenção num estado de grande abandono.

The medieval capital of #Portugal for over a hundred years, and site of the country’s greatest university for the past five centuries, #Coimbra wears its weighty importance in #Portuguese history with dignity. Its atmospheric, beautiful historic core cascades down a hillside in a lovely setting on the east bank of the Rio #Mondego it's a multicoloured collage of buildings spanning nearly a millennium.
If you visit during the academic year, you’ll be sure to feel the #university’s influence. Students throng bars and cafes; posters advertise talks on everything from genetics to genocide; and graffiti scrawled outside repúblicas (communal student dwellings) address the political issues of the day. If you can, come during the Queima das Fitas in early May, a raucous weeklong celebration featuring live music every night. Or stroll the streets on a summer evening, when the city’s old stone walls reverberate with the haunting metallic notes of the guitarra (Portuguese guitar) and the full, deep voices of fado singers.
Take a few steps outside the historic centre and you’ll also see the city’s modern side – a modern riverfront park with terrace bars and restaurants, a spiffy pedestrian bridge across the Mondego, and vast shopping complexes offering everything you’d expect in a major #European city.
The #city also makes a fine base for day visits to the remarkable Roman ruins at #Conímbriga, the #medieval hilltop fortress of Montemor-o-Velho, or the outlandishly ornate Palace Hotel do #Buçaco.

Cruise Ship at Funchal, Madeira Island, Funchal, Madeira Island Tours - Visit Funchal, Madeira Island
Travel Videos HD, World Travel Guide
Funchal is the capital and main city, of the autonomous region of Madeira, on the island of Madeira, situated in the south between Santa Cruz and Camara de Lobos cities.
The city's name comes from the abundance of fennel (funcho) found on the island. It was an important shipping center during the 15th-17th centuries. It is one of the most beautiful cities in Portugal.
See in Funchal, Madeira Island
======================
Jardins Do Palheiro (Quinta do Palheiro Ferreiro Park), Sao Goncalo, Palheiro (about 5km from downtown), ☎ 351 291 793 044. Mon - Fri from 9:00h - 16:30h.
The Quinta do Palheiro Ferreiro Park is a typical example of a manor in British colonial style. While the manor itself is private and can't be visited, you can enjoy the public park. On first sight it looks like an English park, old Platanes form a long alley from the main gate to the gardens. But when you look closer you see all the tropical plants that build the basis, completed by hundreds of plants from al over the world. So around the year there ar always some plants blooming. The main part of the park is formed by several gardens, e.g. a French Garden, a Sunken Garden, the Ladies Garden, a Rose Garden and some more. On the opposite of the main gate is a Tea House, which is connected to the golf course. The serve some good tea, cakes, pastries, snacks and small lunches. The way back to the main gate is formed by the Camellia Avenue, a flourish firework between end October and March.
The park is situated on 500m altitude. Between 9 - 11:30 the park is often crowded by bus tourists, choose the afternoon for a more laid-back visit. Entrance fee 10,50€
Public busses frequently connect Funchal with the park: line 36 or, if you have strong nervs, line 37 for a more spectacular ride. Palheiro Gardens
Madeira Botanical Gardens (Jardins Botânicos da Madeira), Caminho Meio Quinta do Bom Sucesso (about 3km from downtown). The more than 2000 plants of these hillside gardens, plus the view of Funchal make this one of the major attractions of the whole island. The gardens also feature a collection of parakeets and parrots.
Market - Mercado Dos Lavradores, Rua Brigadeiro Oudinot, Down Town (Zona Velha). Mon - Thu 7 - 16 h, Fri 7 - 20 h, Sat 7 - 15h, closed on Sundays and holidays.
The historic building with an open patio offers on two levels the fresh fruits and vegetables from all over the island. On lower level is also a seperate hall for the fish vendors selling the fresh caught fishes to everybody. Eat and buy local fruits like the small Madeiran mangos, bananas, philodendres and plenty kinds of maracujas. Taste the offers from vendors. But be carefull, they sometimes try to rip you off and selling you over-ripe fruits or some heavy mangos for the (expensive) price of light maracujas. There are also some nice pastelarias and coffee bars in and around the buliding. Often crowded while rain and when large cruise ships are on the pier.
Monte Palace Hotel Gardens. The gardens of this defunct hotel include a Chinese garden, artwork, a small lake, and a variety of flora and fauna.
Santa Clara Convent (Convento da Santa Clara), Calçada de Santa Clara 15. Dating from the end of the 15th century, this convent, now a national monument, was founded by João Gonçalves da Câmara. The azulejo tiles are especially notable.
São Lourenço Palace (Palácio de São Lourenço), Avenida Zarco. Half fortress and half palace, this construction is a good example of mannerist architecture. Highlights include the Noble Salon (Salão Nobre), the Green Room (Sala Verde), the Audience Hall (Sala de Audiências), and the gardens.
Sé Cathedral. The central point in Funchal, and its most-visited monument. Commissioned by the king Dom Manuel I through Portuguese explorer Gil Eanes, the cathedral was built between 1493 and 1517. The ceiling is made from local wood.
Colegio Church (Igreja de Sao Joao Evangelista), Rua dos Ferreiros, 105, This Jesuit temple, completed in 1647, is a striking building with a stunning interior. Today it is part of Madeira University.
