About Beja City

With around 25.0 00 inhabitants, Beja is the capital of the “Baixo Alentejo” region, and the town where the Polytechnic Institute of Beja is located. Beja and the regions’ history date back to the Roman times when it became the regional capital of Julius Caesar’s empire. Nowadays Caesar’s Pax Julia still exudes an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity difficult to find elsewhere. The town’s streets and its historical centre are a silent sign andtestimonial of past times.

About Beja City

In the town centre we can also see the “Praça da República” (Town Hall Square, called Republic Square), with the Charity House Renaissanceloggia and a lineup of “Manuelino” style buildings. A lot more could be said about Beja’s rich past, but Beja is also about modernity. It is a well-equipped town with new green leisure areas and parks, where both residents and visitors can spend some quality time. It has a wealth of cultural, sports and leisure facilities, as well as commercial areas, good restaurants and sunny esplanades, a vivid night life – in short, all the features of a modern town.
