Baroque Library - University of Coimbra

I heard that the University of Coimbra is the oldest university in Europe, and it has been built for almost 700 years, and I have to visit the city anyway. To visit the library to buy tickets, package 24 euros per person, in addition to the library there is a degree auditorium, classrooms and other places can be entered with tickets. The ticket shows the admission time of the library, so you must go to the library first and then go elsewhere. Visit one by one from the entrance, the doors between each area open regularly and then enter the next area. The library is beautifully decorated and a good place to read quietly. But I don't know where the students are reading now.

Founded by Dinesh I in 1290, the University of Coimbra is one of the oldest institutions of higher learning on the Iberian Peninsula. The first institutes were the Faculty of Arts, Law, Church Law, and Medical School. In the 18th century, the Marquis of Pembar, then the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Kingdom of Portugal, made a series of reforms to the University of Coimbra, especially in the field of science education, making it more in line with the Enlightenment and anti-churchism. From its founding in 1290 until 1559 and from 1759 to 1911, the University of Coimbra is the only university in Portugal. Its long history makes it one of the most influential centers in Portugal in terms of education, politics and society. The Joonina Library is located on the central campus of the University of Coimbra, built in the 18th century. Its architecture is clearly Baroque and is considered one of the most primitive and typical Baroque libraries in Europe. The Joonina Library was built in 1717-1728 and was given to him by King Joon V. The library has a lot of precious ancient books. The walls of this library are 2 meters thick, ensuring that the library is stable and the interior is kept at temperature throughout the year. Humidity 60 [%]. The tables in the museum are made of precious wood such as rosewood, ebony, and other wood, beautiful roof murals, platinum bookcases, making the whole library as luxurious as a palace.

The Baroque Library of the University of Coimbra can be said to be the best place for the whole University of Coimbra. It is also ranked among the ten most beautiful libraries in the world. It is magnificent and many of them are wooden building materials. There are three main halls. There are murals above each hall. The subject matter of discipline and related qualities is also the archetype of the movie Harry Potter Library.

The main floor of the library is not allowed to take pictures, but the gate can be deterred!

The Baroque architecture of the Coimbra University Library looks luxurious inside the oldest Coimbra University in Portugal, and it is the prototype of the Harry Potter Library.
