Largo da Oliveira Square owes its name to an ancient olive tree that once stood on this site. The still existing fence, with a small replacement tree, bears the year 1342. Surrounded by pretty, typically northern Portuguese houses, the square is the ideal starting point for exploring the city's streets on foot. The square also boasts several interesting landmarks: to the west, a curious little Gothic chapel, Padrão do Salado, dating from the time of King D. Afonso IV, which commemorates the Battle of Salado. There, in 1340, Portuguese and Castilian forces jointly defeated the forces of the Moorish king of Granada. Directly behind it lies the Church of Nossa Senhora de Oliveira (also known as the Colegiada). It is the first Gothic monument built in the Minho region. On the right side of the square, you can still see the former medieval town hall, with a stone sculpture that, according to tradition, represents Guimarães. Below, Gothic arcades lead to Largo S. Tiago, one of the city's most characteristic squares. https://www.visitportugal.com/de/NR/exeres/9FD0C908-905C-4119-8821-A155EC3C4CEB

The Church and Convent of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (in Portuguese: Igreja e Convento de Nossa Senhora do Carmo), whose construction began in 1685. Originally dedicated to Saint Teresa (in Portuguese: Santa Teresa), it was designed in the Baroque style. Don't forget to take a look at the upper part, which you can reach via a staircase on the right side of the entrance.

The Palace of the Dukes of Braganza was commissioned by Dom Afonso around 1420—the year of his second marriage to Constança de Noronha. Dom Afonso was the illegitimate son of King João I and acquired the titles of 8th Count of Barcelos, 2nd Count of Neiva, and 1st Duke of Braganza! It is considered a unique architectural example on the Iberian Peninsula!
