    The Ducal Palace in Guimarães, Portugal was originally built in the 15th century by Duke Afonso of Barcelos as his residence, inspired by French castles. It fell into disrepair until the 17th century when monks received permission to rebuild their monastery there. By the 19th century the palace was in poor condition again. It was fully rebuilt in the 20th century and is now a national monument used by the President and international guests. The student chose to write about this monument because they were born in Guimarães, appreciate its size and beauty, and feel it teaches about Portuguese history.

    Location and special dates


    When D. Afonso, Duke of Barcelos and the illegitimate son of King John 1st, founder of the Dynasty of Aviz, was made Lord of Guimares, he built a palace inspired by the style of a French castle. It was on 15th century. However D. Afonso died early. The Ducal Palace was abandoned until the 17th century. Then the monks of St. Anthonys Monastery requested Royal permission to rebuild their new Monastery.

    The request was granted and by the 19th century the Ducal Palace was in a bad state.
    It was just in 20th century that the Ducal Palace was completely rebuilt. By now we can also walk and play in the surrounding

    area.

    Today it is a National Monument and apart from a museum, it contains a suite of rooms used by the President of the Republic on visits to the north and some other international celebrities when they visit Portugal.

    Reason for choosing


    I chose this monument because 1. I was born in Guimares and I love Ducal Palace 2. This monument is really big and beautiful 3. We learn a lot about our history and past when we go there.

    I hope that with this work we also want to visit Ducal Palace Thank you!
