Lamego Cathedral
Sé de Lamego
A cathedral begun in the 12th century, where a Romanesque bell tower meets 16th-century ceiling paintings. The cloister is exquisite and quiet.
Lamego Cathedral was begun in 1129. Its only surviving Romanesque element is the square bell tower. The main façade is a 16th-century late Gothic flamboyant portal, while the interior was remodelled in the Baroque style in the 18th century. Its highlights are the ceiling paintings and the gilded wooden organ loft, both designed with Nasoni's involvement. The attached Renaissance cloister is calm and elegant. The cathedral sits in the city centre below the Sanctuary Avenue and can be visited together with the Sanctuary and the Lamego Museum. Entry is free.
