Pousada de Guimarães - Santa Marinha

Pousada de Santa Marinha is located on a hilltop overlooking the medieval town of Guimarães. The pousada is a former Augustinian convent built in the 12th C. The town is considered the "cradle of the Nation", as it was here that the country's first king, Afonso Henriques, was born and established the first Portuguese court in the 12th C.
