Porto Cathedral
No. 10 of Best Things to Do in Portugal

Porto Cathedral

7.8
4.7/5
121 reviews
Porto Cathedral stands prominently on a hill in Porto, one of the city's ancient monuments. The facade is almost devoid of decoration, making it quite unique among church architecture: two square bell towers flank the sides, with a Romanesque rose window and a Baroque-era portico set against a plain facade, while the crenellated battlements above give the entire structure a fortress-like appearance. The Baroque loggia on the side facade, designed by Italian architect Nicolau Nasoni, adds a touch of splendor to the exterior. Porto Cathedral stands majestically on the high ground of the old town, one of the ancient buildings still existing in Porto and an important example of Romanesque architecture in Portugal. The cathedral was first built around 1110 and largely completed in the 13th century, with Gothic and Baroque elements added over the following centuries: the Romanesque nave, Gothic cloister, and Baroque loggia coexist within the same structure, making a visit akin to flipping through a three-dimensional architectural history book. As a city landmark that has existed for nearly a millennium, the church was built approx. in 1110, with construction spanning a century. Even today, many intricate architectural features remain fascinating. The square bell towers on either side of the church are quite unique due to their nearly bare facades, while the crenellated structures at the top incorporate castle-like elements. Additionally, the interior features many delightful blue-and-white tile murals, a hallmark of Portuguese architecture.Porto · 67.1km from Lamego

São Jorge Castle

São Jorge CastleIt is one of the ancient buildings in Lisbon and a major historical monument and tourist attraction in Lisbon. The castle is built onAlfamaThe high point of the area was a fortress when the Moors occupied Lisbon in the Middle Ages. Located on a commanding hillside, its presence can be seen from almost every corner of Lisbon. The castle originally belonged to the earlier Visigoths. After the Moorish invasion, it underwent large-scale expansion, and its walls, up to 8 m thick, still impress with their grandeur today. Here, people can better appreciate the city's architectural art, whether fromAlfamaTo the futuristic castles and drawbridges in the distant city, or in the urbanCarmo churchThe open-air ruins can be seen at a glance.  National monument The architectural complex known as Lisbon castle and Lisbon city walls was classified as a national monument under the decree issued on June 16, 1910. The monument is owned by the Portuguese state and was temporarily transferred to Lisbon city hall on September 13, 1934, with the complete transfer finalized on May 31, 1942. On June 8, 1979, the revised terms of transfer for São Jorge Castle were officially enacted. Following the resolution of the Lisbon municipal council in October 1995, São Jorge Castle was placed under the management of the municipal company Empresa de Bairros Históricos de Lisboa (EBAHL). In 2003, this management responsibility was transferred to the municipal company Empresa de Gestão de Equipamentos e Animação Cultural (EGEAC). The site consists of a castle, the ruins of the Alcázar palace, the Plaza de Armas, a spacious viewing platform overlooking the entire city, a museum exhibition area, an archaeological exhibition area, several garden areas, and the city walls. The monument covers an area of approx. 4 hectares, surrounded by a massive perimeter wall and city walls, with one section of the wall coinciding with part of the boundary of Lisbon's old castle. Space and view In the past, there were no trees inside or outside the city walls; even if there were, the quantity was far less than today. In the days when the castle was merely a fortress to be conquered, it was absolutely unacceptable to provide the enemy with any tools for climbing or even setting fires, thereby facilitating their siege. The castle garden was built in the 1950s and is one of the earliest view architecture works in Portugal. Its designer, architect Gonçalo Ribeiro Telles, conceived this garden precisely when the castle completely ceased its military use, aiming to complement the historic site while providing visitors with a highly comfortable leisure area.Portugal · Lisbon

Really nice place overall. Good views and show inside as well. Don't book via Trip.com. It is OVER PRICED here. Book directly from the website to skip the line and enter. However if you get the ticket at the ticket office, you could get a physical ticket.
