“The city and its University - seen as the place of formation and existential itinerary of the poet - played a decisive role in the dissemination of the Portuguese language and culture (including the work of Camões) throughout the Portuguese-speaking world.
It is therefore entirely justified that the commemoration of the 500th anniversary of the birth of Portugal's greatest poet should bring together the polis and the akropolis in a wide-ranging cultural, scientific and performance program.
Formally starting on June 10, 2024, it will continue for two years, merging in 2025 with the celebration of the 735th anniversary of the University of Coimbra.”
