Porto Sé (Cathedral)

In 1996, UNESCO declared Porto as World Heritage.

 

UNESCO’s decision was mainly influenced by the quality of the urban and social renovation works, especially those supporting the local population and boosting cultural and sport activities, which have been successfully introduced throughout the area now classified as World Heritage.

 

 The Porto Sé (Cathedral) is a building of roman structure that dates from the 12th and 13th centuries, which suffered great changes during the Baroque. Outside it still maintains the looks of a fortress church with battlements.

 Consisting of 150 cult ornaments, adornments, silverware and liturgical books of the 14th to 19th centuries, the Tesouro da Sé (Cathedral Treasure) is worthy of mention...so,what are you waiting for?
