The Teresiana University Residence, traditionally known as Lar Teresiano, is a female university residence that has been in Coimbra since 1937. Known in the academic world as "Teresianas", for being guided by Teresiana sisters (Companhia de Santa Teresa de Jesus), who live the spirituality of Saint Teresa of Jesus.
We belong to the great Teresian Family, spread over several countries in Europe, America and Africa, which has Saint Teresa of Jesus as teacher of life and spirituality, and Saint Henrique of Ossó as founder and source of inspiration, in the mission of educating and accompanying young men and women, in their personal and community processes, offering them vital and meaningful experiences. In a familiar, welcoming, serene environment they are able to discover God's project in their lives, develop their capacities and be agents of social transformation.
