University History

By signing “Scientiae Thesaurus Mirabilis”, King Dinis created the oldest university of the country and one of the oldest in the world. Dated from 1290, the document originated the General Study, recognised in the same year by Pope Nicholas IV. A century after the birth of the nation, the University of Coimbra germinated. It starts operating in Lisbon but, in 1308, it is transferred to Coimbra, alternating between the two cities until 1537, when it is definitely settled in the city of river Mondego.

Initially confined to the Royal Palace, the University spread throughout the city of Coimbra, while modifying its landscape and making of it the University City. It later enlarged with the creation of a second Campus, dedicated to Engineering and Technology, and with a third Campus devoted to Health Sciences.

To study at the University of Coimbra is to pursue the intellectual history of the country in the school that graduated some of the most distinguished personalities of national culture, science and politics.

With over seven centuries, and celebrating this year its 730th anniversary, the University of Coimbra has a unique tangible and intangible heritage, keystone in the scientific culture of Europe and the World, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2013.

Sintra - a truly historic treasure!

Since Prehistory, Sintra has been inhabited. It was occupied by the Romans and Muslims. It was conquered from the Moors in 1154, by King Afonso Henriques. The famous Castelo dos Mouros (Moors’ Castle) stands out at the top of the mountain.

There was a large community of Jews in the village, in its own neighborhood – the Judiaria (Jewry). In Colares, in the Sintra area, a Muslim community continued to live after being conquered.

Sintra is the testimony of almost every period of Portuguese history. From the 12th century onwards, the presence of religious institutions is noted: convents, monasteries and military orders. The Black Death, in the 14th century, was deeply felt in these lands.

King D. Manuel I (1495-1521) gave the Vila a great boost, with works of great modernity, contributing to its development. At the top of Serra de Sintra, in the 19th century, Pena Palace was built by King D. Fernando who married Queen D. Maria II. It is a beautiful monument.

In 1639, the Vila had already 4,000 inhabitants. The 1755 earthquake devastated Sintra.

It is worth noticinng Vila Palace, a monument in the center of the Vila, much visited and appreciated by national and foreign tourists for its paintings and its artistic content.

In the 20th century, the municipality experienced a large population increase. Sintra was elevated to the category of World Heritage of Humanity and classified by UNESCO as a Cultural Landscape.

The Portuguese author Vergílio Ferreira wrote that “Sintra is the only place in the country where History became a garden. In Sintra you don't die. One passes alive to the other side, because death is impossible in the vigor of such beauty”.

Sintra and the Romanticism

It is considered the greatest exponent of Romanticism, which is why Sintra is considered the capital and expression of this literary movement. The chalets, mansions, such as the one in Monserrate, manor houses and estates, are surrounded by lush vegetation, such as Quinta do Relógio or Quinta da Regaleira.

All this beauty was masterfully portrayed by national and foreign painters, poets and prose writers, such as Eça de Queirós, Vergílio Ferreira, Ramalho Ortigão, Lord Byron, Richard Strauss, Christian Andersen, William Beckford and Francis Cook. These last two were tenants of Monserrate.

Data about Sintra:

Location: 30 kms from Lisbon city centre;

Population: 381.728 inhabitants;

Gastronomy: “Travesseiros” and “Queijadas”.

The Croatian National Bank (CNB) is the central bank of the Republic of Croatia. It is responsible for currency stability and general liquidity of payments at home and abroad.

The first floor contains the conference room in which the meetings of the Croatian National Bank Council are held, formerly the room of the Stock Exchange Council.

At the beginning of 20th century, The Stock Exchange Council and Secretary's Office decided to send the architect Viktor Kovačić and the General Secretary on a study trip in 1922. Kovačić visited the stock exchange buildings in Vienna and Berlin as a part of his journey and it was inspiration for his design. It was a very modern look for that period, with homage to classicism. It is a business place, but at the same time a beautiful building.

The Stock Exchange opened in 1927, and was closed in 1945, due to the history events (end of WWII and Croatia becoming a part of Socialistic Yugoslavia).

Why this building? The EU is connected through its monetary system and soon Croatia will have Euro, but our national institutions have great historical significance, so I chose this place.

The castle was located on a small hill, inaccessible at that time, among the backwaters stretching in the valley of the Gąsawka river. The castle was built in the Gothic style in the second half of the fourteenth century, probably by Sędziwój Pałuka, initially a clergyman, later general governor of Greater Poland and one of the "reagents'' of the Kingdom of Poland during the reign of Louisog Hungary . Gothic brick was used to build the walls, placed on a foundation made of granite boulders. The castle was built in two phases. First, the outer perimeter of the walls was made, and then their superstructure and development. The castle was expanded in the 16th century. In the 17th century a fire started and in the years 1636-1641 it was rebuilt into a modern residence.
Today we can only see the ruins of the castle. Revitalized thanks to European Union funds. The area is not fenced and the ruins are open to everyone.

The Zagreb Cathedral is the most monumental and most impressive Gothic-style building in southeast of the Alps, and it is located in Zagreb.

It is called Zagreb Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and King Ladislaus, a Hungarian king who founded the Zagreb diocese in 1094.

The cathedral had many constructions and reconstructions, most famously in the Middle Ages, then in the 16th century before the war against the Otoman Empire, when the bishop Bakač had built walls to protect it. The walls were there for more than 300 years, when the famous Austrian architect Herman Bolle decided to rebuild it again, and bring down the fortification in 1865.

It did not survive the notorious earthquake in 1880, and parts of it had to be built – AGAIN.

The work has not stopped, and since the earthquake last spring, they had to cut down pieces of towers, to make the even, because of the damage. But it still stands.

I think that Zagreb cathedral is really important for Croatia and for Europe in general, because it represents Zagreb and its history, also its’ a place where tourists find peace and like to document their moment in Croatia, Zagreb.

Grounded Solar System, an art installation created by Ivan Kožarić was posted in 1971 near today's National Theater. Later it was moved to Bogovićeva Street in the very center, where it is today.

Another artist Dabor Preis made aditional Nine Views in 2004, an art instalation that is all the planets of the Solar System scattered around the city of Zagreb. They are the exact replica of distance between the real planets, so for example, Venus and Earth are really close to the Sun, you can see them near our main square, but for Pluto and Saturn you need to take the bus far away.

In my opinion this art, which represents natural science, is important general knowledge for every student, no matter where you live.

And EU promotes education and investment in science so this connects my town to the EU.

Croats overtook Tarsattica and commenced building a new settlement. Rijeka of that period, which was around 13th century, was a small fortified town devided into two parts. A significant economic upswing began in the 16th century with trade in iron, coal, wood, wool, cattle and leather. Frequent attacks by the Turks, in the 16th century, resulted weakening of the golden age of Rijeka trade. The Rijeka economy began to flourish again in the 18th century.

Here, in this unique Elizabethan setting, the Shakespeare Festival takes place every year, this year for the 33. time. It gives internationally and nationally renowned theatre companies the opportunity to breathe new life into Shakespeare's plays.

Every summer, the Shakespeare Festival is a great spectacle. This is not only due to a top-class international cast, the variety of presentation forms and the ever-changing approach to the works of one of England's most important poets, but also to the Globe itself. Because of its old-fashioned style and furnishings, one feels as if one is in old Shakspear times. This authenticity alone makes the old-time play a literally unforgettable experience.

We hope you will soon be able to experience this here in our beautiful city! :)

The Napoleon monument of Neuss was build in 2009 to honor the effort of Napoleon trying to connect the Rhein and the Maars with the "Nord Kanal". It is 25 times 45 meters big and has nothing inside exept water. It is the biggest monument of our area and thats why it gets supported by the monument saving organisation.
