Here would be, on June 24,1128, the Battle of São Mamede. It is the seat of the Municipality of Guimarães that has a total area of 240.95 ksqm, 156,830 inhabitants in 2021 and a population density of 651 inhabitants per ksqm, subdivided into 48 parishes. The municipality is bounded to the north by the municipality of Póvoa de Lanhoso, to the east by Fafe, to the south by Felgueiras, Vizela and Santo Tirso, to the west by Vila Nova de Famalicão and to the northwest by Braga. It is a historic city, with a crucial role in the formation of Portugal and that has already 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 the main governmental center of the Portucalense county he had conquered for the Kingdom of Asturias. Guimarães is one of the most important historical cities in the country, with its historic center being inscribed on 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 which Guimarães was distinguished as the best CED of 2013. Guimarães is often referred to as the Cradle City, due to the fact that it was established as the administrative center of the Condado Portucalense by D. Henrique and his son D. Afonso Henriques, and also because of the historical importance of the Battle of São Mamede, fought on the outskirts of the city on 24 June 1128, which had a significant impact on the formation of the nationality. However, the needs of the Reconquista and the protection of territories to the south led this same center to Coimbra in 1129. The region in which Guimarães is integrated is of permanent settlement since at least the national Final Calcolithic, as evidenced by the presence, in the municipality, of the cytanias of Briteiros and Sabroso or the archaeological station of Penha.
