Manifesta 17 Coimbra 2028 will move forward with priorities focused on enhancing the Baixa, Alta and Rua da Sofia. This is the first time Manifesta, one of the largest European contemporary art events, is held in Portugal.
The program will focus on revitalizing these three historic areas of the city, which are considered priority areas for intervention. Manifesta is an itinerant biennial that traditionally takes place in European cities, bringing with it a vast and international cultural program.
The choice of Coimbra to host this edition represents an opportunity to enhance the city's historical and cultural heritage. The event is expected to bring visitors and contribute to the economic revitalization of the areas covered by the program.
