A park that is slightly out of the way. The gardens are where Dom Pedro and Inês de Castro met in secret, leading to the latter's execution. The hotel building is somewhere the Duke of Wellington stayed during the Peninsular War Campaigns.

You will find these gardens located in Coimbra to the left of the River Mondego. Here you can explore the medieval ruins and woodlands that the site has to offer.

Portugal's own tragic version of Romeo and Juliet was played out in the Quinta das Lágrimas gardens (in Portuguese lágrimas means tears) where lady-in-waiting Inês de Castro, the mistress of King Pedro I, was murdered in 1355 on the orders of Afonso IV. The deed was said to have taken place in the gardens of a villa near a fountain – the Fonte dos Amores. The villa is now an upscale hotel, but the grounds, planted with ancient trees and landscaped with ponds and watercourses, are open to the public. Address: Hotel Quinta das Lágrimas, Rua António Augusto Gonçalves, Coimbra

Quinta das Lágrimas: the story of a forbidden love. A love story becomes great because of the tales that keep it alive. And the story of Peter and Inês is no exception. Although the Prince lived with Inês at Santa Clara Palace for many years, folk tradition says that, in order to communicate with his lover, Peter would use a pipe which went through Quinta das Lágrimas until near the Poor Clairs convent. It is said that he would put letters into small wooden boats and then they would travel across the water that came from a fountain, the Fonte dos Amores (Fountain of Love). At Quinta das Lágrimas there is also another fountain, the Fonte das Lágrimas (Fountain of Tears) which, according to legend, is made out of the tears that Inês cried when she was murdered. It is said that the blood from her body left a stain of red seaweed which is still noticeable today.
