Guimarães is a Portuguese city and capital of the sub-region of Ave, belonging to the Minho region and the district of Braga. Here would take place, on June 24,1128, the Battle of São Mamede. It is a historic city, with a crucial role in the formation of Portugal and that has more than a millennium since its formation, when it was designated as Vimaranes. This placename may have originated in Vímara Peres, in the middle of the 9th century, when he made this place his main government center of the Portucalense county that he had conquered for the Kingdom of Asturias. Guimarães is one of the most important historical cities in the country, with its historic center inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2001, which makes it definitely one of the largest tourist centers in the region. Its streets and monuments breathe history and enchant those who visit it. The present Guimarães has been able to reconcile, in the best way, the history and consequent maintenance of the heritage with the dynamism and entrepreneurship that characterize modern cities, which was manifested in the nomination for European Capital of Culture in 2012, factors that led Guimarães to be elected by the New York Times as one of the 41 places to visit in 2011 and to consider it one of the emerging cultural points of the Iberian Peninsula. It was also European City of Sport (CED) in 2013. In the latter, Guimarães was distinguished as the best CED of 2013. Distinguished as European Green Capital in 2026. Guimarães is often referred to as the Cradle City, due to the fact that it was established there as the administrative center of the Condado Portucalense by D. Henrique and his son D. Afonso Henriques to be born in this city and fundamentally for the historical importance that the Battle of São Mamede, fought on the outskirts of the city on June 24,1128, had for the formation of the nationality. However, the Reconquista and the protection of the southern territories led to the same centre being moved to Coimbra in 1129. The region in which Guimarães is integrated has been permanently populated since at least the National Final Calcolithic, as evidenced by the presence in the municipality of the Briteiros and Sabroso cytanies or the Penha archaeological station.
