Coimbra Portuga, is one of the oldest cities in the country, as well as Europe, with an age of over 1000 years. It's home to one of the oldest universities in existence, The University of Coimbra, at over 700 years old. Renowned for its school of medicine, as well as the birthplace of many cultural, art and social movements in the country, this sculpture marks its law faculty. It's part of a majestic emblem carved out of lime stone. Taken earlier this year during my visit. I've been playing with this photo for a while now, trying to figure out how to best treat it. Although I had always thought it would be a black and white, it took me a while to get it to where I liked it. Hope you enjoy it.
