Customs Tower<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the end of Largo do Toural is where you will find the best preserved section of the wall, Customs Tower<\/strong>, and there you will find the inscription \u201cAqui nasceu Portugal<\/strong>\u201d (Portugal was born here). As you walk through the streets of Guimar\u00e3es, you will certainly come across sections of the city walls. The original wall dates back to the mid-13th century, but it was extended over the following centuries. The longest section is on Avenida Alberto Sampaio<\/strong>. On Rua de Santo Ant\u00f3nio, you can see parts of the wall almost blending into the houses.<\/p>\n

The phrase \u201cAqui nasceu Portugal<\/strong>\u201d (Portugal was born here) is engraved on a very visible part of the wall, near the entrance to the historic centre, and symbolises the birth of the Portuguese national identity<\/strong>. This is not a literal statement of the birth of the country in that exact spot, but rather a historical symbol<\/strong> of the importance of Guimar\u00e3es in the formation of Portugal.<\/p>\n
