---

"Arco de Almedina (Almedina arch) was the main gateway of the medieval city wall. Its oldest part dates from the 9th century, and originally consisted of 2 turrets linked by an arch. Its present appearance is probably the result of work carried out on the orders of King Manuel I in the early 16th century." [Source: Turismo de Coimbra]
