A deserved award, no doubt about that!!!
Check the site of the printscreen above at http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1387/ for further info (description, maps for location, documents, gallery with some more pics and indicators) as well as the article http://portuguese-american-journal.com/award-university-of-coimbra-granted-word-heritage-status-unesco/.
Here is the candidacy statement, here you find the updated list of World Heritage Sites in Portugal and also here and in English there is plenty of info on the University of Coimbra (Facts and Figures).
If it's true that Coimbra long deserved this world recognition and award, it's also true that with it comes the heavy responsibility of preserving our historical and cultural heritage. Are we up to this?
Hope so, as do future tourists / visitors. We are waiting.
