Tips from the Community

Noname
September 19, 2025, Praça de São Tiago

Santiago Square, also known as São Tiago Square (Portuguese: Praça de Santiago), is a medieval city square in Guimarães. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the historic center of Guimarães. According to tradition, the Apostle James (São Tiago in Portuguese) brought an image of the Virgin Mary to Guimarães and placed it in a pagan temple in a square that was later named St. Tiago Square. Santiago Square is mentioned in numerous documents over several centuries and has retained many of its medieval features to this day. The now romanticized and photogenic medieval houses were once considered squalid and unhygienic. The space they occupied was long regarded as an "undignified" place.

Interesting facility. Not just the old pools, but also the rest of the facility. The detour is definitely worth it.

A site well worth seeing. It looks more impressive from a distance than up close.

These basins were used for treating, washing, dyeing, and drying leather, primarily for clothing. Located outside the city walls because of the stench, these medieval tanks existed for many centuries. A small factory remained in operation for a long time, but was closed in 2005, putting an end to this ancient activity in the area forever. https://maps.app.goo.gl/f3PdGeeb78mj6EwN8
