Located about 15 km east of Guimarães, the small town of Fafe is well known for its palatial ‘Brazilian’ style residences, erected by wealthy returning inhabitants who had emigrated to Brazil in the 18th and 19th centuries. The town has three museums: the Classic Car Museum, the Printing Museum and the Santa Rita Hydroelectric Museum. In Arões, about 4 km from Fafe, is the impressive 13th century Romanesque São Romão Church. Fafe was built on the site of an ancient settlement and was known as Monte Longo a thousand years ago. The Calvário Gardens offer a panoramic view.
