Entrance to the Porto Cathedral

Enter the Porto Cathedral, one of the oldest monuments in the city.

An atypical cathedral that will not be like any you have seen before. But why is it so special? Because it has the appearance of a fortress and not a cathedral!

A beautiful construction inside and out that has changed over the centuries due to the combination of aesthetic currents: a Romanesque architecture corresponding to the construction of its beginnings and a baroque and Gothic elements after its reconstruction. All of this has turned Se do Porto into a National Monument.
A cathedral with dark spaces, sobriety and delicacy coexist in this construction. Its façade represents sobriety due to its defensive construction appearanceand its interior is delicacy with the silverware and tiles that decorate it inside.

And what makes it even more impressive are the cloister walls decorated with typical Portuguese white and blue tiles where you can see biblical scenes.

Se do Porto offers wonderful views of the city. Climb the tower and delight in the beautiful panoramic views of the old town of Porto.

Tour the cathedral at your leisure, but we recommend that you leave the visit to the tower for last and contemplate the Duero River from a privileged place.
