Saliento o Padrão do Salado, o museu de arte sacra Alberto Sampaio e a Torre dos Almadas. The Nossa Senhora da Oliveira Church is located in the Historic Center of Guimarães in Portugal.

  • #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".

Amazing Value

The location and property itself was perfection. We had a lot of space, the apartment was well equipped, and it was centrally located. The best part is the central location was also quiet the way the apartment is situated.

Schönes Stadthaus in traumhafter Altstadt

Das Haus ist historisch und traditionell schmal, dafür über 3 Etagen. Es wurde liebevoll restauriert und eingerichtet. Alles war sehr sauber, der Kontakt mit Sandra sehr nett. Die Ausstattung der Küche war auch sehr gut, alles vorhanden. Wir waren mit drei kleinen Kindern dort, die auch ihre Freude hatten. Nachts ist es an den Wochenenden etwas lauter, aber das ist eben so in Innenstädten, hat uns nicht weiter gestört. Danke für einen tollen Urlaub!
