Manga Cloister

The Monastery of Manga hides behind the Santa Cruz Church on Olympio Nicolau Ruy Fernandez Street in downtown Coimbra. It features a yellow Renaissance-style structure, consisting of a central fountain topped with a dome, four chapels in the form of towers and aqueducts with small fountains. It is full of Christian symbolism. It represents the fountain of life and the four rivers that flow from the Garden of Eden.
