Covilhã is a historic city situated in the foothills of Serra da Estrela, Portugal's highest mountain range. The city has a rich textile manufacturing heritage dating back to medieval times, when it was one of the main centers of wool production in Portugal. This industrial legacy is reflected in its numerous former textile factories and the University of Beira Interior, which was established in the 1970s and incorporates some of these restored industrial buildings.
The city maintains strong ties to its textile past through the Wool Museum, which documents the region's industrial heritage. Besides its industrial history, Covilhã serves as a gateway to Serra da Estrela Natural Park, combining urban culture with mountain traditions. The city's architecture features a mix of medieval elements, baroque churches, and industrial-era buildings, telling the story of its evolution from a wool-producing town to a modern university city.
