The building is very impressive with its fortress protected by a moat, a drawbridge and a massive, crenellated enclosure.

Built between the 10th and 11th centuries to resist Norman and Moorish invasions, this fortress is protected by a moat, a drawbridge and a massive, crenellated enclosure. In the 12th century, Dom Henrique and Dona Teresa settled in the castle and renovated it to extend and fortify it. Occupied by successive kings of the kingdom between the 13th and 15th centuries, it fell into disinheritance when it lost its defensive role until the 20th century. The 27 m high tower offers a beautiful view. Be careful, the last staircase leading to the roof is very steep.

Chateau de Guimaraes, Portugal
Le Château de Guimaraes situé dans la ville du même nom au Portugal est un très bel ouvrage sur les hauteurs de la ville. Je me suis contentée d’en admirer les extérieurs car je n’avais pas vraiment envie de faire la queue pour prendre les billets, préférant profiter du beau temps.

Malheureusement impossible de visiter l'intérieur car en travaux. Le château reste impressionnant aux regard de ses murs massifs et son donjon.

Le Chateau
Magnifique forteresse située sur les hauteurs de Guimares. Très caractéristique avec son donjon d’une hauteur de 30 mètres et des remparts crénelés. A l’intérieur, pièces d’époque aménagées, tapisseries, armes etc. Superbe vue sur la ville et les environs. Entrée payante
Possibilité aussi de se balader sur les remparts qui entourent une partie de la ville.

Visite sans guide mais avec une salle centrale très bien documenté sur l'histoire du Chateau et du Portugal. Des vidéos explicatives très bien faite. Le paiement du ticket se fait à l'entrée.
