Considered one of the best Pousadas, the renovated building was awarded the coveted Europa Nostra prize for its restoration. 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.

Just below the castle, the little Romanesque Capela de Sao Miguel still celebrates mass on the king's birthday.
