A Universidade de Coimbra, sediada na cidade de Coimbra, é a mais antiga universidade portuguesa. A instituição, uma das maiores do país, remonta ao século seguinte ao da própria fundação da nação portuguesa, dado que foi criada no século XIII, em 1290, mais especificamente a 1 de Março, quando foi assinado em Leiria, por D. Dinis, o documento Scientiae thesaurus mirabilis, que criou a própria Universidade e pediu ao Papa a confirmação.
