As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this fortress stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of this European capital. Nestled in the heart of Guimaraes, a historical city located in northern Portugal's Minho region, this medieval castle exudes magnificence and grandeur.

The historical center surrounding Guimaraes Castle is steeped in charm and authenticity. Cobblestone streets wind through narrow alleys lined with centuries-old buildings, creating an enchanting atmosphere that transports you back in time.
