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".](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/4902/ed8ac363-b5eb-4d8b-8eec-ade21aeb0c92.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Guimaraes Castle 8 min walk \- 0.7 km - Largo da Oliveira 2 min walk \- 0.2 km - Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Consolacao e Santos Passos 3 min walk \- 0.3 km - Palace Duques de Bragança 7 min walk \- 0.6 km ### Getting around - Guimarães Station 13 min walk - Porto Airport (OPO) 55 min drive ### Restaurants - Supremo Gosto 1 min walk - Nut'Guimarães 1 min walk - Cinecitta 2 min walk - Amu-Te 2 min walk - El Rock 2 min walk ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Heritage Loft – in the Cradle of Portugal pet-friendly? ### How much does it cost to stay at Heritage Loft – in the Cradle of Portugal? ### What time is check-in at Heritage Loft – in the Cradle of Portugal? ### What time is check-out at Heritage Loft – in the Cradle of Portugal? ### Where is Heritage Loft – in the Cradle of Portugal located? ## Have a question?
