The building that now houses the Passaporte Coimbra restaurant was once the old civil house of the government of Coimbra. It was built in 1710 by the architect João Antunes and is a fine example of Portuguese Baroque architecture.
The building was originally used as the headquarters of the Real Mesa Corporativa da Universidade de Coimbra (Royal Corporate Board of the University of Coimbra). In 1772, it became the seat of the government of the District of Coimbra and was used as a government house until 1928. From 1928 to 1990, it had a variety of purposes, including a school and a library.
Today, Passaporte Coimbra is a modern restaurant located on the banks of the Mondego River in Coimbra, Portugal. The restaurant has a spacious interior with a bar, a dining room, and a terrace. The menu features a variety of Portuguese and international dishes, as well as a wide selection of wines.
