Santa Maria Street

The Santa Maria Street (Portuguese: Rua de Santa Maria) is a street of medieval origin in the historic centre of Guimarães, being for many centuries the most important street in Guimarães and home to some of its elite.

The street currently connects the Oliveira and the Santiago Square to the Carmo Square.

It is already referred to by the name “Rua de Santa Maria” in documents that date to the 12th century, although its upper section was given the old name of Rua da Infesta (Infesta Street).
