The Coimbra Major Seminary Building, located in the Parish of Almedina, is a sui generis building given its Italian architecture and featuring several spaces that are worth a close visit.
Noteworthy is the Sagrada Familia church, with its dome, considered one of the most beautiful in the country; the reliquary chapel of S. Miguel; the Old Library, with more than 9,000 books from 1507 to 1800; the episcopal chambers; the tile room; and the Mondego Balcony, which has a magnificent view over the city. Noteworthy is a woodcut by Monsignor Nunes Pereira, a canvas by the famous painter Grão Vasco and the 18th century pipe organ, built in 1762 by João Fontana de Maquera, which falls under the category of “Iberian organs” and which has 1500 tubes.
