Summary[edit]

Description
English: The Guimarães Castle, located in the city of Guimarães, Portugal, was ordered to be built by Dona Mumadona Dias in the 10th century in order to defend its monastery from Muslim and Norman attacks. Count Dom Henrique (to who the County of Portugal had been granted) chose Guimarães to establish his court. The fortress, then over a century old, needed urgent renovation. The nobleman chose to destroy what remained from Mumadona's construction, while extending the area of the castle and adding two entrances. The locality, where the castle was, continued to be the official royal residence through much of the 11th and 12th centuries.
Português: O Castelo de Guimarães localiza-se na cidade de mesmo nome, Distrito de Braga, em Portugal.

Em posição dominante, sobranceiro ao Campo de São Mamede, este monumento encontra-se ligado à fundação do Condado Portucalense e às lutas da independência de Portugal, sendo designado popularmente como berço da nacionalidade.

Classificado como Monumento Nacional, em 2007 foi eleito informalmente como uma das Sete maravilhas de Portugal.
