Lisbon Cathedral
Lisbon Cathedral, also known as Sé de Lisboa or Santa Maria Maior de Lisboa, is the oldest church in the city and one of its most iconic landmarks. It is located in the Alfama district, close to the Tagus river. Construction of Lisbon Cathedral began in 1147, shortly after the city was reconquered from the Moors. The cathedral's exterior features robust walls, a rose window and two imposing bell towers. The main entrance, known as Porta do Perdão, is a fine example of Manueline architecture, characterized by intricate details and maritime motifs. Inside, Lisbon Cathedral has a wide nave with a wooden ceiling and several side chapels. One of the highlights is the Capela de São Vicente, which houses the relics of São Vicente de Zaragoza, the patron saint of Lisbon. The cathedral also has a treasury of valuable artifacts, including sacred vessels, vestments and religious art.
