Porto Cathedral, Porto Overview

Porto Cathedral (Sé do Porto), located in the historic center of Porto, Portugal, is one of the city’s oldest and most significant landmarks. Built in the 12th century, it features a mix of Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque architectural styles.

Inside, visitors can explore the grand nave, ornate chapels, and the silver altarpiece of St. John the Baptist.

Built in the 12th century, it was originally constructed in the Romanesque style, later incorporating Gothic and Baroque elements due to centuries of renovations.
