Explanation

Portugal's University of Coimbra, established in 1290 (originally founded in Lisbon), is indeed one of Europe's oldest universities still in operation. While the University of Bologna (1088) and Oxford (1096) are older, the question specifies the establishment date of 1290, which corresponds to Coimbra. Spain's universities (like Salamanca, 1218) are older, and England's Oxford predates 1290.
