#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".

"This choice of hotel was convenient. I was able to walk to many locations. Shopping mall places to eat. I found an amazing Chinese restaurant I had peaking duck twice. I brought my family back here. The price was great. The food wasn’t greasy. The people are friendly and helpful. Most of them speak English the staff at the hotel was very helpful. They even provided me a map of the city."

PortoBay Teatro

10/10 Excellent

"I absolutely loved my stay at the PortoBay. The hotel room was not large, but it was cozy and very comfortable and very clean! My favorite parts were the extremely comfortable bed and the very cool shower. The room was quiet--I didn't hear any neighbors although I know that I had neighbors on one side. Also, right outside the hotel, in easy walking distance was many interesting sites (like the train station and Bolhau market). And many dining options and shopping near by! Also, the staff at this hotel were ALL wonderful! They were so kind and welcoming. And the hotel restaurant was delicious. Make sure to get the rate with breakfast included because the breakfast spread was also a great variety! "
