The University of Coimbra (UC) is a public research university in Coimbra, Portugal. Officially chartered by King Denis on March 1, 1290, and recognised by Pope Nicholas IV on August 9, 1290, it is the oldest university in Portugal and one of the world's oldest in continuous operations, having begun operations in Lisbon before moving permanently to Coimbra in 1537. It had an influential role in the development of higher education in the Portuguese-speaking countries, and in their history. Due to its historic influence, architecture, unique culture and traditions, it was declared in 2013 a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
