Day One of Portugal
Battle of St Mammes. 1128
Guimarães’ municipal holiday is 24 June, which commemorates the Battle of São Mamede, the first and decisive step towards the national and territorial demarcation that would later be enshrined in the Treaty of Zamora.
The historical importance of the date is unanimously recognised by Portuguese historians
The significance of the Battle of São Mamede and the journey towards independence that began there is one of those historical moments that makes the place Guimarães occupies so unique, not only in history, but also in the imagination of the Portuguese. That’s why 24 June is felt by the people of Guimarães as Day One of Portugal.
