Penedo da Saudade


This rocky promontory with its gardens, once known as the Pedra dos Ventos (Stone of the Winds), owes its name (Rock of Longing) to the tradition that Prince Pedro often went there to weep for the loss of his beloved Inês.
In the 20th century, during course reunions & other student occasions, it became the custom to fix here a stone plaque with commemorative verses, particularly in the part known as the Sala dos Cursos. Along the paths, busts of Portuguese writers, such as António Nobre and Eça de Queirós, commemorate their connection with Coimbra.
