Trip to Spain and Portugal- Guimaraes (continued)

Guimaraes is a remarkable historical city in northern Portugal, widely regarded as the birthplace of Portugal. The first Portuguese King, Afonso Henriques (1109-1185), was born there. During the foundation of Portugal, Guimaraes briefly served as the capital city. The city is renowned for its well-preserved medieval buildings, including the hilltop Guimaraes Castle, dating back to the 10th century, which offers stunning views of the city. During our visit, we captured the charm of this picturesque town through these photos.
