The magnificent Palace of the Dukes of Braganza is also worth a visit. The Pousada de Guimaraes Hotel has a fascinating history to match that of this jewel of a Medieval city. Tradition has it that an Augustine monastery was founded here in the 12th century, by the wife of the King of Portugal Afonso Henriques in honour of St Marinha da Costa. However, it is probable that the site had been occupied since the beginning of the Christian reconquest at the end of the 9th century, and you can still see a Moorish-Arabic door in the north west corner of the monastery’s enchanting cloister. Also, take some time to admire the beautiful 18th century azulejos (painted glazed tiles) in the Chapter Hall and Frei Jeronimo’s terrace, as well as the wooden sculpture in the church.
