Arco de Almedina - Transfers

Has estado alguna vez en Arco de Almedina?

El Arco de Almedina formaba parte de la sólida muralla medieval reconstruida en el siglo XI por el conquistador árabe Almansor, y es la única superviviente de las tres puertas que se abrían hacia la parte alta de la ciudadela. Hoy en día es la entrada en la Coimbra antigua, donde se puede ver una escultura del taller de João de Ruão.

Está bajo una torre que tuvo varias funciones. En los s. XIV y XV fue la sede del poder municipal, la Sede del Ayuntamiento y, más tarde, la Casa de Audiencia donde se reunía la concejalía.

En lo alto, la campana anunciaba las sesiones de las asambleas y las horas para abrir y cerrar las puertas a la población, función que se mantuvo hasta el 1870. En el lugar existía una pequeña capilla dedicada a Nuestra Señora de la Conceição donde se realizaba la misa antes de las reuniones.

En el año 1835, con la definición de un nuevo espacio para las Casas Consistoriales, otras instituciones ocuparon el espacio de la torre hasta que, en el año 1988 comenzó a servir al Archivo Histórico Municipal, función que aún mantiene.

La pintoresca Rua de Quebra-Costas conduce desde el Arco de Almedina a la glorieta de la Sé Velha (Catedral Vieja). Señálese que este curioso nombre es la forma humorística con la que el pueblo de Coimbra se refiere a esta ladera empinada, tortuosa, con el suelo resbaladizo que provocaba muchas caídas.

Lo que la Gente Esta Diciendo

"This was wonderful. The team was on time and had the materials. Our guide was great and very aware of our safety! He helped us in and out of the kayaks in the waves. Would recommend ! We even got to go in some small caves. "
★★★★★
"I recently completed a vintage car tour in Porto. The driver was charming and the experience was enjoyed by all. However, I do have a bit of a problem with the booking company, Experitour. After I made the booking online, nobody ever reached out to me to confirm the upcoming event. Usually, a day or two before such a tour, somebody will send an e-mail stating that the tour is going to occur soon and to review the meeting place and time. I would expect Experitour to do that since they were the company that received my online booking information. When I eventually contacted the Vintage Car Tour company, they initially had no record of my reservation. They were eventually able to find it, but I had to remind them that I went through Experitour. Not sure whose fault that was. These are minor details, but they prevent me from providing a 5-star review."

"Received fantastic service from experitour, always in contact with me. Unfortunately the tour was cancelled because of the Babet and Alina storms. Not their fault. Will certainly be rebooking with them next year hopefully will see the famous flamingoes. "

"I would like to get refund for the tickets €240 of this boat tour on 30/09/2023 due to the bad weather condition and the tour had been cancelled by your company/Sea Adventure. I have sent the email to experitour.com few days ago but get no response so far. Looking forward to hearing from experitour soonest. "
