The Cathedral of Braga, the oldest archdiocese in Portugal, is the symbol of the city. Erected in the 12th century by order of D. Henrique and D. Teresa, it rivaled with the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.

Bearing witness to art through the centuries, it preserves Romanesque elements such as the Porta do Sol, the floor plan with its ambulatory, and Gothic works like the gallery providing access to the temple.

Inside lies the Gothic-Flemish tomb of the infant D. Afonso, son of D. João I. Under D. Manuel, additional decorative elements were added, including the baptismal fonts and a statue of Our Lady of Milk attributed to Nicolas Chantereine, depicted on the city's emblem.

The Baroque style is evident in the interior decoration of the altars, the gilt carved woodwork, as well as in the grand organ of the main chapel and the curious spires adorning the exterior façade.🔔 Subscribe to our YouTube channel for inspiring content:
