The Church of Saint John the Baptist is located in the urbanization of Quinta da Portela, a growing residential area in the city of Coimbra. Situated within a contemporary urban context, the church lies between the University's Polo II and an area with various services, reflecting the dynamism and evolution of this part of the city.
Dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, this church serves as a unifying point for residents of Quinta da Portela and the surrounding areas. Its founding as a parish in 2010 was a response to urban development and the increase in local population, establishing itself as a space where faith and community life intertwine in the daily lives of the community.
The presence of the Church of Saint John the Baptist in Quinta da Portela illustrates how Coimbra has expanded in recent decades. More than a place of worship, it represents the city's growth into new areas and the adaptation of community structures to the needs of its most recent inhabitants. It is a reflection of the dynamism and vitality of a Coimbra that continues to evolve.
