Arguably the most notable plaza with stores and cafes in the city but that is not saying much. On the bright side you're only getting moderately ripped off here, but still more than just about anywhere else in the city
THE PLACE IS A GOOD ONE FOR A COFFE AND FOR RELAXING. NEAR FERREIRA BORGES STREET WHERE YOU CAN FIND THE BEST SHOPS OF COIMBRA. THE STATUE IS OF THE PRIEST KILLER JOAQUIM AGUIAR.
The Toll Square is the main square of Coimbra. In ancient times it was where traders were to pay the tolls for goods when they arrived in town. The statue in the middle of the square is from Joaquim António de Aguiar, a politician from Coimbra who played a significant role in the process of secularization in Portugal in the 19th century.
The Square marks the beginning of the pedestrian street Ferreira Borges. A bustling downtown street, lined with attractions, shops, cafes and restaurants.
Joaquim António de Aguiar (Coimbra, 24 August 1792 – Lisbon, 26 May 1884) was a Portuguese politician. He was three times prime minister of Portugal: between 1841 and 1842. He also served as minister of justice during the regency of Peter IV and in that capacity issued the 30 May 1834 law which extinguished "all convents, monasteries, colleges, hospices and any other houses of the regular religious orders". This law and its anti-ecclesiastical spirit earned Joaquim António de Aguiar the nickname "O Mata-Frades" (English: "The Friar-Killer").
The perfect spot for a bite to eat or drink at the start or end of a busy day sightseeing or shopping in the old city. Great for people watching with a big variety of cafés, bars and restaurants.
