Stories of Forbidden Love
Coimbra is the city of eternal love, and at its heart lies Quinta das Lágrimas, the legendary setting of Portugal’s most tragic and passionate romance—the forbidden love of Pedro and Inês.
Inês was tragically assassinated by order of the king, and legend says her blood still stains the Fonte das Lágrimas, the fountain where she shed her final tears. But love never dies—Pedro avenged her, crowned her as queen after death, and ensured they would rest together for eternity.
