On the north side of the walls, stands the "Princess Tower", where, according to legend, a young Moorish girl loved by a Christian lived as a prisoner.

Built by Dom Dinis, this castle was of great strategic-military importance in the defense of northern Portugal. The two forts, both built during the Restoration Wars, form quadrilaterals reinforced at the angles by bulwarks. Currently, remains of military walls are preserved.

The parade ground is shaped like an irregular polygon. The citadel is entered through three main gates: the Porta da Esquina, the Porta de Olivença, and the Porta de S. Vicente.

The fact that it was the target of intense Moorish attacks meant that a fortress was built to protect the monks and the Christian community. Thus was born the Castle of Guimarães.
