Santiago Square, also known as São Tiago Square (Portuguese: Praça de Santiago), is a medieval city square in Guimarães. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the historic center of Guimarães. According to tradition, the Apostle James (São Tiago in Portuguese) brought an image of the Virgin Mary to Guimarães and placed it in a pagan temple in a square that was later named St. Tiago Square. Santiago Square is mentioned in numerous documents over several centuries and has retained many of its medieval features to this day. The now romanticized and photogenic medieval houses were once considered squalid and unhygienic. The space they occupied was long regarded as an "undignified" place.

The Church of São Miguel do Castelo, also known as the Chapel of S'o Miguel Castle, was built in 1239 by the Foundation of Our Lady of the Olive Tree. Legend has it that the first king of Portugal, D. Afonso Henriques, was baptized here. Over the centuries, it gradually fell into ruin, reaching a state of disrepair in the mid-19th century when the Martins Sarmento Society decided to restore it. https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igreja_de_S%C3%A3o_Miguel_do_Castelo

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 complex is a photo opportunity par excellence. It is located on a hill next to the church, surrounded by numerous beautiful, well-tended flowerbeds. At the top, an octagonal wooden pavilion awaits, offering a magnificent view of the entire area. Like the railings of the winding access paths, the beautiful little hut is constructed of woven wooden branches.

After the strenuous climb along the Escadórios do Bom Jesus, the first stop is Largo do Pelicano, where you can take a short rest in view of the mighty basilica. The square leads to a fountain crowned with the figure of a pelican tearing open its breast to feed its young with its own blood. It is another symbolic element meant to remind us of the Eucharist, the sacrifice of Christ, who gave his own flesh to feed others. In the past, the pelican was considered a symbol of parental love, as it feeds its young in times of need with its own flesh and blood. Therefore, Christian iconography considers it a symbol of Christ. The complex background to the history and peculiar naming of this square can be found here: https://bomjesus.pt/bom-jesus/largo-do-pelicano-and-waterfall/?lang=en The square was completely redesigned in 2015!

Once the cog railway arrives at the top station, passengers disembark. Immediately afterwards, you can see how a narrow pipe is fed into a funnel on the carriage, which is then filled with water. This increases the weight of the carriage, making it easier to pull the other carriage up at the bottom station.
