Stories of Forbidden Love
Coimbra is more than a historic city; it’s the eternal home of love in Portugal. At its heart lies Quinta das Lágrimas, a romantic estate where one of the country’s most legendary and tragic love stories unfolded: the forbidden romance of Pedro and Inês de Castro.
Inês, a lady-in-waiting, was assassinated by royal decree. According to legend, her blood still marks the Fonte das Lágrimas (Fountain of Tears), where she wept her final goodbyes. But their love defied death, King Pedro I later declared Inês his lawful wife and ordered that they be buried side by side so that they could be together for all eternity.
This is more than a love story. It’s a symbol, a timeless reminder that true love never dies. Even in silence, it endures.
