Lisbon Cathedral

The Cathedral of Lisbon is one of the city's oldest buildings. Lisbon Cathedral was built in the mid-12th century after Christian crusaders headed by King Afonso Henriques retook the city from the Moors.

Lisbon Cathedral, which was originally erected in the Romanesque style, has subsequently undergone a succession of restorations and modifications, not least due to earthquake damage. As a result, aspects of various styles, particularly Baroque, can be found in this formidable fortress-like structure today. The cloisters of the cathedral, which date from the 14th century, contain some notable artifacts as well as inscriptions and tombs.

Visitors can now marvel at the cathedral's magnificent fortress-like aspect. The cathedral is characterized by a mix of Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque, and neoclassical architectural and artistic styles. The treasury, which is made up of four halls with suits, gems, and relics from various centuries, is located on the second floor.
