Baixo Mondego (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈbajʃu mõˈdeɣu]; Lower Mondego in English) is a former Portuguese NUTS3 subregion that comprised the lower part of the Mondego River.[1] It was abolished at the January 2015 NUTS 3 revision.[2] It was a subregion of the Centro Region, centered on the historical city of Coimbra. With an area of 2,062 km² and a population of 336,376 inhabitants (of which half are in the cities of Coimbra and Figueira da Foz), the Baixo Mondego was a subregion with a mean density of 163/km². The subregion was named after the Mondego River and all this river area has been known as Baixo Mondego (Lower Mondego) since ancient times, even before the creation of the NUTS3.
