General Information
The Hotel Pousada Nossa Senhora da Oliveira, a former manor house, is in the medieval historical centre of Guimaraes.Guimaraes, "The cradle of the Nation" is the birthplace of the first King of Portugal, Afonso Henriques, and was the first capital of Portugal. As befits a town of such eminence, Guimaraes has a wealth of magnificent buildings.
King Afonso Henriques was born in the impressive 10th century castle, and he established the first Portuguese court here in the 12th century.
Just below the castle, the little Romanesque Capela de Sao Miguel still celebrates mass on the king's birthday.The medieval Paco dos Duques was the residence of the royal house of Braganca in the 15th century. Extensively restored it now houses a museum and art gallery with a fine collection of portrait paintings.
The old town has some wonderful medieval buildings particularly round the Largo da Oliveira, the most impressive of which is the church of Nossa Senhora da Oliveira. Adjoining the church the Museum Alberto Sampaio has some beautiful exhibits including a triptych capture from the King of Castile.
