O Castelo de Guimarães começou por um mosteiro mandado construir por Mumadona Dias no século X, antes, portanto, da formação de Portugal. Como os ataques dos mouros eram frequentes decidiram construir uma muralha para proteger a comunidade e os monges que viviam no seu interior. Foi esta fortaleza que deu origem ao Castelo de Guimarães. Mais tarde, no século XII, foi neste castelo que nasceu Dom Afonso Henriques que viria a ser o primeiro rei de Portugal. Com a falta de uso o castelo foi-se degradando. Recentemente foi recuperado e classificado como Monumento Nacional. É também considerado Patrimônio Mundial pela UNESCO. Um lugar cheio de história e que foi berço de Portugal. Não é à toa que em um pedaço da muralha original tem os dizeres “Aqui nasceu Portugal”.

The Castle of Guimarães began with a monastery built by Mumadona Dias in the 10th century, before, therefore, the formation of Portugal. As the attacks of the Moors were frequent they decided to build a wall to protect the community and the monks that lived inside. It was this fort that gave origin to the Castle of Guimarães. Later, in the twelfth century, it was in this castle that Dom Afonso Henriques was born. Some years after he would become the first king of Portugal. With the lack of use the castle was degrading. Recently it was recovered and classified as National Monument. It is also considered World Heritage by UNESCO. A place full of history and that was cradle of Portugal. It is no wonder that in a piece of the original wall has the words "Here was born Portugal".

Top Guimarães Hotel Reviews

Park Hotel Porto Aeroporto

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the Park Hotel was excellent! We were able to check in very early in the morning (1 am) after a flight, and the staff was very accommodating. The room was spacious and a great spread for breakfast."

The Social Hub Porto

10/10 Excellent

"The social hub! Well what can I say "it's an absolute stunning hotel", in the ❤️ of Porto. The decor is chic with a twist of playfulness which I truly loved. The rooms for a city hotel were on point. Whilst I'm being honest, I felt the TV channels could of been better in the room! Otherwise wow! 🤘🤘😎😎❤️❤️🇵🇹🇵🇹"
