#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".

Hotel Jaguar Oporto - Airport to Hotel and City Center and Vice-Versa is a Free and Continuous Shuttle Service from 7AM to 8PM

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I enjoyed our week stay (in June) at the Hotel Jaguar Oporto. The hotel was very clean and nicely presentable. Breakfast was wonderful and even though we only ate one evening in the restaurant, the meal was very good. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The free Shuttle service from and to the airport was a bonus. The hotel was handily located for the Metro and it was only 3 stops to the City Centre. During our stay, it was our Ruby Anniversary, which I had mentioned to one of the staff. After being out all day on our Anniversary, when we returned, we were presented with a bottle of champagne and a cake, which was a wonderful surprise. I would recommend this hotel and we would stay here again."
