\u00c0 deux pas de Porto<\/b>, au nord-ouest du Portugal, se cache un joyau du patrimoine culturel portugais, Guimar\u00e3es.

Ici naquit le Portugal<\/b><\/h3>\n

L\u2019histoire de Guimar\u00e3es<\/b> est entrelac\u00e9e avec celle du Portugal depuis plus de huit si\u00e8cles. En effet, cette ville riche, situ\u00e9e dans le district de Braga au nord du pays, est consid\u00e9r\u00e9e comme le berceau de la nation puisqu\u2019elle a vu na\u00eetre Alphonse Henriques<\/b>. Surnomm\u00e9 le \u00ab\u00a0Conqu\u00e9rant\u00a0\u00bb ou le \u00ab\u00a0Fondateur\u00a0\u00bb, il deviendra apr\u00e8s sa victoire contre les Maures, lors de la bataille\u00a0d\u2019Ourique, en 1139, le premier roi du Portugal<\/b>. N\u00e9anmoins, il faudra attendre l\u2019ann\u00e9e 1143, o\u00f9 par le trait\u00e9 de Zamore, le roi de L\u00e9on et Castille reconna\u00eet l\u2019ind\u00e9pendance de ce pays voisin de l\u2019Espagne.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Guimar\u00e3es a ainsi \u00e9t\u00e9 le th\u00e9\u00e2tre d\u2019\u00e9v\u00e9nements politiques et militaires importants qui ont men\u00e9 \u00e0 la fondation du Portugal<\/b>. De son pass\u00e9, la ville a gard\u00e9 plusieurs traces : sur un vestige de l\u2019ancienne muraille, \u00e0 l\u2019entr\u00e9e du centre historique, les visiteurs peuvent ainsi lire en lettres blanches la phrase que tout Portugais conna\u00eet : \u00ab\u00a0Aqui nasceu Portugal\u00a0\u00bb (ici naquit le Portugal).<\/p>\n

Le centre-ville, patrimoine historique<\/b><\/h3>\n

Le\u00a0centre-ville m\u00e9di\u00e9val de Guimar\u00e3es<\/b> compte de nombreux monuments extr\u00eamement bien conserv\u00e9s. \u00c0 tel point que l\u2019Unesco l\u2019a inscrit sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l\u2019humanit\u00e9<\/b> en 2001. Le plus embl\u00e9matique est certainement le ch\u00e2teau fort construit au X<\/b>e<\/b> si\u00e8cle par la comtesse Mumadona Dias. Situ\u00e9 sur la montagne Latito, connue comme la colline sacr\u00e9e, les habitants venaient s\u2019y r\u00e9fugier lors des incessantes incursions des hordes de Vikings, venus du nord de l\u2019Europe, et des Maures, venus du sud. Non loin du ch\u00e2teau subsiste \u00e9galement un bel exemple de l\u2019architecture romane<\/b>, la petite \u00e9glise de S\u00e3o Miguel o\u00f9 le premier roi du Portugal fut baptis\u00e9.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Depuis le ch\u00e2teau de Guimar\u00e3es<\/b>, il est possible de rejoindre la zone basse de la ville, avec son couvent. Deux p\u00f4les reli\u00e9s par la rue de Sainte-Marie<\/b> (rua de Santa Maria). Cette rue sur le chemin de Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle<\/b> est la plus ancienne de Guimar\u00e3es. En empruntant cette voie pav\u00e9e, vous passerez aux abords de l\u2019h\u00f4tel de ville fait de pierres et d\u2019ornements. En face, une boutique d\u2019azulejos traditionnels<\/b>, les fameux carreaux de fa\u00efence d\u00e9cor\u00e9s, offre de pr\u00e9cieux souvenirs.<\/p>\n

Visiter Guimar\u00e3es : les <\/b>incontournables<\/b><\/h3>\n

Guimar\u00e3es poss\u00e8de d\u2019autres joyaux historiques. Situ\u00e9 \u00e0 deux pas du ch\u00e2teau, le palais des Ducs de Bragance<\/b> invite les visiteurs \u00e0 voyager dans le Portugal du XVe\u00a0si\u00e8cle. Avec son architecture gothique<\/b> m\u00e2tin\u00e9e d\u2019influences bourguignonnes, le palais est unique en son genre\u00a0! Class\u00e9 monument national en 1910, il a \u00e9t\u00e9 enti\u00e8rement restaur\u00e9 au cours des d\u00e9cennies suivantes. Aujourd\u2019hui, cette somptueuse b\u00e2tisse, comptant pas moins de 39 hautes chemin\u00e9es de brique, est l\u2019une des r\u00e9sidences officielles du pr\u00e9sident du Portugal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Autre lieu embl\u00e9matique de Guimar\u00e3es<\/b> : la place Santiago<\/b>, situ\u00e9e dans la vieille ville. Cette place pav\u00e9e entour\u00e9e de maisons en pierre aux balcons de bois<\/b> est l\u2019endroit id\u00e9al pour go\u00fbter \u00e0 la douceur de vivre portugaise. Attablez-vous \u00e0 l\u2019une des nombreuses terrasses pour siroter un verre de porto accompagn\u00e9 de tapas. Acras de morue, salade de poulpe marin\u00e9, pain au chorizo, etc. Le choix est royal !<\/p>\n
