Location: Guimaraes, Braga

Guimarães, considered the birthplace of Portugal, breathes history while maintaining a unique vivacity and animation. Largo da Oliveira owes its name to a centuries-old olive tree planted in this location. Surrounded by picturesque, typically northern houses, it is ideal for exploring on foot. In Largo itself, there is a Gothic monument, the “Padrão do Salado”, erected during the reign of D. Afonso IV. Behind it, you will find the Church of Nossa Senhora de Oliveira, the first Gothic monument erected in Minho. On the north side of the Largo, the medieval building of the old Town Hall stands out, topped by a stone sculpture that, according to tradition, represents Guimarães. Below, a Gothic arcade leads to Largo de São Tiago, one of the most characteristic public spaces in the city. This small city in the North of Portugal, with around 50 thousand inhabitants, is safe and quiet, but offers all the amenities to those who decide to build their home here. With excellent accesses to the highway, Guimarães is located just 55 km from Francisco Sá Carneiro airport (Porto) and 25 km from Braga.
