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 place name 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.

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 the administrative center of the Portucalense County was established there by D. The city was named after the king of Portugal, Henry II, and his son, Afonso Henriques, who were born in this city. The Battle of São Mamede, fought on the outskirts of the city on 24 June 1128, was of great historical importance for the formation of the Portuguese nation. However, the Reconquista and the protection of the southern territories led to the transfer of the capital 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.
