Santiago Square

Praça de Santiago, São Tiago Square, Praça de Santiago
Portugal, Guimaraes
Santiago Square is located in the historic center of Guimarães. There used to be a small chapel of St. James of the 17th century, which was demolished at the end of the 19th century. It is surrounded by picturesque houses and cozy restaurants. In this square, the Gothic arcade of the old building of the City Council attracts attention, the main facade of which opens onto the next Largo da Oliveira square. Santiago Square still retains its medieval appearance and is an excellent starting point for exploring the historical heritage of the city of Guimarães.
