Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de Coimbra, Medical school in Coimbra, Portugal
The Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de Coimbra is a medical school in Coimbra with lecture halls, laboratories, and research facilities spread across its campus. The complex supports the training of medical students and conducts ongoing research in various medical fields.
The medical faculty was established in 1772 and stands among the oldest medical schools in continuous operation across Europe. Since its founding, it has trained physicians and grown into a significant center for medical education.
The faculty preserves collections of historical medical instruments and rare books that reflect how medical education developed in Portugal over time. These holdings show the evolution of medical teaching and practice through different periods.
The campus is located in the old town and is accessible on foot, with most areas open during lecture periods. Visitors should keep in mind this is an active teaching and research campus, so some spaces may be restricted for academic reasons.
