Guimarães is a Portuguese city and capital of the
sub-region of Ave, belonging to the region of Minho and the district of Braga.
Here, on June 24, 1128, the Battle of São Mamede would take place.
It is a historic city, with a crucial role in the formation of Portugal, and which has been in place for more than a millennium since its formation, when it was called Vimaranes. This toponym may have originated in Vímara Peres, in the mid-ninth century, when he made this place his main governmental center of the Portucalense county that he had conquered for the Kingdom of Asturias.
Guimarães is one of the most important historical cities in the country, and its historic center has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list since 2001, which makes it definitely one of the largest tourist centers in the region. Its streets and monuments breathe history and enchant those who visit it. The current Guimarães knew how to reconcile, in the best way, the history and consequent maintenance of the heritage with the dynamism and entrepreneurship that characterize modern cities, which was manifested in the nomination for European Capital of Culture in 2012, factors that led Guimarães to be elected by the New York Times as one of the 41 places to visit in 2011 and to consider it one of the emerging cultural points of the Iberian Peninsula. It was also European City of Sport (CED) in 2013.
In the latter, Guimarães was distinguished as the best DSC of 2013. Guimarães is often referred to as the "Cradle City", due to the fact that the administrative center of the Portucalense County was established there by D. Henrique and his son D. Afonso Henriques may have been born in this city and fundamentally because of the historical importance that the Battle of São Mamede, fought on the outskirts of the city on June 24, 1128, had for the formation of nationality. However, the needs of the Reconquista and the protection of territories to the south took this same center to Coimbra in 1129. The region in which Guimarães is part of has been permanently populated since at least the National Late Chalcolithic, as evidenced by the presence, in the municipality, of the citânias of Briteiros and Sabroso or the Archaeological Station of Penha.
