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".

Cenica Porto Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton

5/5 Excellent

"During a visit to Porto we selected this hotel. The staff at the location was friendly and knowledgeable. The hotel room was excellent and clean. Although I usually skip breakfast, the breakfast offered at the hotel had me waking up early eager to eat. The only downside was the parking garage was about 2 blocks away, but even with that issue i would still book at this location again. "

Porto visit

"Small boutique hotel, excellent service, excellent decor, good breakfast. Location 3 -5 stations from the center depends on where you want to visit. The excellent service and convenient parking is compensating for the location. The room is on a smaller side. Would stay again. Thank you for the hospitality."
