Guimarães Castle - Ducal Palace aerial view - 4K UltraHD
Located in the district of Braga, the picturesque city of Guimarães is one of the most important historical destinations of the country. D. Afonso Henriques, the first king of Portugal, chose this ancient Roman city as the capital of the Kingdom of Portugal after its victory in the Battle of São Mamede in 1128. Known as the Cradle of the Nation, Guimarães is a fascinating place to visit, with its proud castle and well preserved medieval quarter. The city was classified as a World Heritage by UNESCO.
Guimarães Castle
The imposing tower of Guimarães castle dominates the entire horizon. This shield-shaped castle was built in the tenth century to protect the city from the invaders and enlarged in the twelfth century, to be used as arsenal and palace. According to legend, the first king of Portugal was born here. Visitors can walk along the castle walls and visit the small Romanesque chapel of St. Michael. In 1910, the castle was classified as a national monument.
Ducal Palace
The Ducal Palace exhibits unusual architectural influences from Northern Europe. Built in the fifteenth century by the first Duke of Bragança, this impressive building was eventually abandoned and fell into ruin, having been restored during Salazar's dictatorship. The museum and the main rooms house beautiful pieces of Renaissance furniture, superb Flemish tapestries and Persian rugs. The Palace is classified as a national monument and is now used as the official residence of the President of the Republic.
Situada no distrito de Braga, a pitoresca cidade de Guimarães é um dos mais importantes destinos históricos do país. D. Afonso Henriques, o primeiro rei de Portugal, escolheu esta antiga cidade romana como capital do Reino de Portugal após a sua vitória na Batalha de São Mamede em 1128. Conhecida como “Berço da Nação”, Guimarães é um local fascinante para visitar, com o seu orgulhoso castelo e bem preservado bairro medieval. A cidade foi classificada como Património Mundial pela UNESCO.
Castelo de Guimarães
A imponente torre de menagem do castelo de Guimarães domina todo o horizonte. Este castelo em forma de escudo foi construído no século X para proteger a cidade dos invasores e ampliado no século XII, passando a ser usado como arsenal e palácio. Segundo a lenda, o primeiro rei de Portugal nasceu aqui. Os visitantes podem caminhar ao longo das muralhas do castelo e visitar a pequena capela românica de São Miguel. Em 1910, o castelo foi classificado como monumento nacional.
Paço Ducal
O Palácio Ducal exibe invulgares influências arquitectónicas do Norte da Europa. Construído no século XV pelo primeiro Duque de Bragança, este impressionante edifício acabou por ser abandonado e cair em ruína, tendo sido restaurado durante a ditadura de Salazar. O museu e as salas principais abrigam belas peças de mobiliário renascentistas, soberbas tapeçarias flamengas e tapetes persas. O Palácio está classificado como monumento nacional e é hoje usado como residência oficial do Presidente da República.

PAÇO DOS DUQUES, Guimarães.
O Paço dos Duques foi mandado construir no ano de 1420-22 pelo 8º Conde de Barcelos, D. Afonso (1380-1461), filho bastardo de D. João I.
A construção de um Palácio com as dimensões do Paço dos Duques justifica-se pelo desejo de afirmação e posição social do Conde que, sendo bastardo, tentava assim superar este estigma.
A construção do Paço, tanto pelas dimensões pouco comuns em Portugal, como pela introdução de elementos construtivos estrangeiros, havendo grande preocupação pelo conforto e luxo, denotam uma influência europeia na sua concepção.
