#Castelo #castle #Guimaraes #Portugal #History

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".

"We've had a good three night stay at the Olala hotel. The location is great for visiting central Porto - 15 minute walk. If anything to comment on is that the noise insulation of the rooms could be better, but the area is very quiet otherwise."

"A estadia correu bem, sem sobressaltos, dentro do esperado. O inconveniente que ocorreu gerou-se a partir do exterior. O barulho do cortejo das festas Gualterianas (aqueles tambores...) não deixava ninguém dormir enquanto durou, mas foi igualmente uma agradável surpresa ter uma noção da natureza destas festas. Nada mais a assinalar. "

Daily continental breakfast (EUR 7 per person)

"Check-in was easy with 24h reception. Pedro, the owner is a cool guy, offered me a glass of Porto wine and upgraded me to a bigger room. The rest of the staff doesn't exactly shine in smiling but all good. Room felt clean, spacious and seemed recently renovated. Bed and pillows were super comfortable (if you like them on the harder side like I do) and the bathroom is small but essential and pretty clean. Area may seem far for the center but it's very walkable and quiet too. I'd definitely go...

"The property is clean. Internet is not functional in the rooms. You can hear everything from other rooms. The girls are very nice, with the exception of the night lady, she is rude and when people are making noise at 3 am she didn’t do anything. "

"Very nice hotel, very nice room, though the shower was a bit funky. "

"I saw some bugs, which i didn't like alot and for us, as Dutch people, we where a little to long for this establishment. For the rest it was very clean and very well organized."
