Day 9
We soaked up the grand atmosphere of one of Europe’s greatest and oldest universities, Coimbra University, with a Local Specialist, then strolled through the ancient streets and squares of Coimbra, before journeying to the Templar city of Tomar. We joined a Local Specialist to visit the Convent of Christ, originally built as a Templar stronghold in the 12th century. Later, we arrived at the pilgrimage center of Fatima, visited by millions of Catholic pilgrims, where three young shepherds famously saw apparitions of the Virgin Mary.
