"Aquí nasceu Portugal" - "Here Portugal was born" - is emblazoned in large letters on the old city wall. Afonso Henriques is said to have come from this small town. He courageously broke away from Spain in 1139, proclaiming himself the first king of Portugal and making Guimarães its first capital.

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

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!
