The Conimbriga ruins:

Now in ruins, Conimbriga is a historic site that was a former Roman Settlement. The ruins are easily reachable by road from the City of Coimbra 16 km away. Archaeological findings from the area suggest that Conimbriga was settled as early as the 9th Century B.C.

The Conimbriga Museum: situated at the site, this museum is dedicated to the history of Conimbriga and houses a collection of items found by archaeological excavation here. There is also a small gift shop here selling a variety of souvenir items.
