The image displays the Paço das Escolas (Royal Palace and University's Main Square) at the University of Coimbra in Coimbra, Portugal, under an overcast sky. The prominent University Clock Tower (Torre da Universidade) is on the left, a light-colored stone structure with a circular clock face near its summit, a belfry with bells below, and a Portuguese flag flying above. A large yellow tower crane is positioned behind the clock tower, its long jib extending horizontally across the upper portion of the frame to the right, with a hook visible hanging from it. To the right of the clock tower, a multi-story building, part of the historic university complex, features a distinctive reddish-brown tiled roof with a patterned surface, white facades, and multiple windows. A second-level balcony, supported by columns and enclosed by a dark metal railing, spans this building's facade. One individual, dressed in dark attire, stands on the right side of this balcony. Additionally, three dark, static figures, resembling statues or uniformed personnel, are spaced along the top railing of the same balcony. Further to the right, a grand stone staircase ascends towards an ornate arched entrance. The foreground consists of a large, empty paved square with lighter-colored geometric patterns. An ornate dark street lamp is visible on the far left. The diffused lighting suggests a cloudy or overcast day.
