Figueira da Foz also known as Figueira for short, is a city of the district of Coimbra, in Portugal. It is located at the mouth of the Mondego river, 40 km west of Coimbra, and sheltered by hills (Serra da Boa Viagem). Figueira da Foz is home to a gigantic sandy beach that is the country's largest, stretching for more than 3km (2 miles). It is so wide, that it is a good five-minute walk across the sand to the sea. As a city of tourism it plays an important part in the centre of the country.
Its popularity with surfers (it was a venue for the 1996 World Surfing Championships) is what turned the town into a world-class resort in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
But the building that attracts the largest number of visitors is the casino, one of the biggest casinos of the Iberian Peninsula - the Casino Peninsular, dating from 1886, with its own nightclub and regular shows. Figueira da Foz has several Churches, many of them in the rich Baroque style, a Municipal Museum with archaeological, ethnographic and artistic collection, the Santa Catarina Fort and the old Buarcos Fortress, the Relógio Tower by the main sandy beachy, several archaeological vestiges throughout the municipality, several Palaces and Manor Houses, as well as several green spaces and small gardens like those in the area of Abadias.
Another curious building is the 18th century Palace House by the marina, which is the former residence of a count from Coimbra, containing one of the world's greatest collections of Delft tiles. Numbering about 7,000, these Dutch tiles were salvaged from a shipwreck at the mouth of the harbor in the late 17th century.
Figueira is a lively seaside town with the nightlife centring on the casino. The town also offers swimming pools, golf, tennis, and discos. The municipal market is near the marina and small supermarkets are close by. There is an occasional bullfight during the summer season.
