Built by King João II in 1493 at the peak of Portugal’s world exploration, this cathedral serves as a reminder to Portugal’s great wealth of that era. Enjoy the Gothic altarpiece and wooden cedar ceiling, a wonderful example of Mudéjar decoration (alfarje ceilings, from the Islamic artistic tradition).
