Guimarães Castle

Guimarães Castle is a medieval fortress linked to the history of the city of Guimaraes and the formation of Portuguese territory. The complex includes walls, towers, and an inner enclosure that allows visitors to observe different elements of medieval military architecture. During the visit, it is possible to explore the accessible areas of the castle, learn about its history, and appreciate the defensive structures preserved over time. The site is integrated into the historic area of Guimaraes, where other buildings and cultural landmarks can also be found. The areas open to the public and visiting hours may vary according to the schedule and visiting conditions.

Palace of the Dukes of Braganza

The palace was first constructed in the 15th century, led by the first Duke of Braganza, Afonso. Its architectural style combines the features of medieval castles and French Burgundian noble residences. Its towering chimneys, thick stone walls, spacious courtyards, and wooden roof structures are very striking. The palace later fell into disrepair, and in the 20th century, it underwent extensive restoration, with some areas being used as the official residence of the President of the Portuguese Republic in the northern region.
