GUIMARÃES CASTLE
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.

Mais le point de vue vaut le détour. Et le circuit dans les remparts est très bien entretenu. Par contre, abstenez vous de visiter si vous avez le vertige ^^
Après la visite, ne pas hésiter à emprunter les petites ruelles pavées alentours qui redescendent vers l'igreja notre Dame de la Consolation qui fait suite à un magnifique parvis fleuri.
À partir du castelo nous avons une très belle vue sur Guimarães.
Je conseil ce endroit :)
Avant c'était gratuit l'entrée, depuis cette année c'est payant, mais ça vaut le coup de payer :)
