Guimarães is a historic city in northern Portugal, often referred to as the "Cradle of Portugal" due to its association with the country's foundation and first king, Afonso Henriques. The city's well-preserved medieval center, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2001, features distinctive architecture including the imposing Guimarães Castle and the Palace of the Dukes of Braganza.
The city's cultural heritage is deeply rooted in its traditional crafts, particularly textile manufacturing and leather working, which continue to influence its identity today. The historic center maintains its medieval street pattern, with traditional buildings and public squares that reflect the city's evolution from the medieval period to the present. As an important cultural center, Guimarães hosts various cultural events and was the European Capital of Culture in 2012, contributing to the preservation and promotion of both traditional and contemporary Portuguese culture.
