The French Invasions of the beginning of the XIX century deeply marked the political,
sociocultural and economic history of the country, in the most diverse latitudes, translating into
multiple manifestations of material and immaterial nature, some of which are still remembered
and experienced. The territory of the Intermunicipal Community of the Region of Coimbra has
several stories and marks left by the French Invasions (especially in the third invasion, between
1810 and 1811).
This App aims to contribute to the construction of a vector of tourism development across
borders that promotes, preserves and values the historical and cultural values of the Napoleonic
routes not only in the context of this Region, but also with other national and international
projects.
Based on 19 informative structures placed in each of the municipalities in emblematic places
related to the French Invasions, whose location is available on the map that you can find
here: https:/visitregiaodecoimbra.pt/as-invasoes-French/ it is possible to go through this
thematic Itinerary, accessing each of the experiences with a mobile phone through a QR-CODE
placed in each of these structures.
The brilliant conduct of the Portuguese military had the fair recognition of Wellesley, future Duke
of Wellington, and therefore deserves that we can dignify this moment in the history of Portugal
through this sharing of experiences and transmission of knowledge about the relationship of
each one of the territories and their populations with the passage of French and Anglo-French
troops, led by renowned generals such as Massena, Wellington, without forgetting our
Portuguese soldiers, whom Wellington called brave soldiers! 
Take this opportunity to experience the events, return to the past and to discover and enjoy all
the other charms of these territories on a journey of this collective imaginary.
Download the App and embark on this Itinerary with family and friends traveling through places
where you can test and collect the 19 experiences and choose your favorite!
