Monastery of Santa Maria de Pombeiro, Felgueiras

 Last year, my son studied Romanesque architecture in Portugal, and everyone in his class had to do a project on a monument. His classmate, who did the project on this monastery, gave everyone a postcard of that very monastery! What a great idea!




Coimbra New Cathedral

 Still, there's always something left to see. I didn't see the new cathedral, but I bought the postcard because I'm trying to collect all the cathedrals from Portugal.




Arch and Tower of the Almedina, Coimbra

 I'd been to Coimbra two or three times before, but I'd always missed a good part of it. This time, I walked even through the narrowest streets.




Joanine Library, Coimbra

 I was recently in Coimbra and for the first time I saw the local university but I didn't visit the library.

Pilgrimage Church of St John of Nepomuk, Zelená Hora

 If another visit to the Czech Republic happens I would also love to visit this church.




Český Krumlov Castle

 Český Krumlov was in my initial plans for when I visited the Czech Republic but we felt we also needed to rest so we postponed it for a future visit and spent more time in Prague.
