Taveiro

Taveiro is a freguesia (civil parish) in the municipality of Coimbra, Portugal. It is situated just north of the city of Coimbra, along the Mondego River. Taveiro is primarily a residential area, but also includes agricultural land and some light industrial activity. Historically, the area was known for its agricultural production, particularly rice cultivation along the fertile riverbanks. Over time, it has experienced urban expansion due to its proximity to Coimbra. Taveiro is served by public transportation, facilitating access to Coimbra and surrounding areas. The parish's patron saint is likely Saint Peter (São Pedro), based on common Portuguese parish naming conventions.
