Guimaraes is located an hour and twenty minutes by train from Porto. Its Historic Center, a narrow area of about 850 meters from North to South, contains many buildings that were constructed during Medieval Times right after Portugal became a nation. And so, in 2001 Guimaraes was designated a World Heritage Site by the UN. Born in Guimaraes, the first king of Portugal was Afonso I. Highly revered by the citizens of the city, Afonso's image is used as the logo for the local soccer team.
