Real República Prá-Kys-Tão Association

Shop History

Rooted in the University of Coimbra living culture and, consequently, in the history of the city itself, the Real República Prá-Kys-Tão Association integrates a group of university residences sheltering the student community, institutionally linked to the University of Coimbra. Founded on the 27th January 1951, it was a breath of fresh air in the student life “during the second half of the 20th Century, demonstrating clearly and evidently that the joyous spirit, the youth and solidarity and the typical Coimbra wisecracking haven’t faded yet”. (“A Briosa” Journal, 3rd February 1951).
