Lisbon Cathedral

The oldest Catholic church in Lisbon, located in the middle of the Alfama district of the old town, is behind the site of a Roman theatre, which is being excavated and repaired. It is also well preserved after the Lisbon earthquake! The stained glass inside the church is beautiful!

Lisbon has experienced unprecedented earthquakes and subsequent fires, and today the cathedral was restored in 1930 (the south wall inside the church is a set of light boxes that clearly describe the restoration process). It is worth mentioning that this church also combines multiple styles of architecture: such as fortress-like clock towers, Gothic-style rose windows, etc., which are deeply magnificent.

The main church of Lisbon is located in the city center, just a short walk away, and the famous 28 tram will pass by, and many tourists like to capture pictures of trams passing by the church door. The church is free to enter, like many of the city's main churches, is a place for locals to pray, and access to the visit needs to be very quiet.

Visited at night it has a different beauty, so many fossils on its walls of different kinds of limestone.

La Catedral de Lisboa, también conocida como Sé de Lisboa, es uno de los edificios más antiguos y emblemáticos de la capital portuguesa. Esta joya arquitectónica, que ha resistido terremotos y reconstrucciones a lo largo de su historia, se destaca no sólo por su relevancia religiosa, sino también por su valor histórico y arquitectónico.Ubicada en el antiguo barrio de Alfama, y a 5 minutos de la famosa plaza del comercio, la catedral se eleva majestuosamente sobre la ciudad con una vista panorámica del río Tajo. La mejor forma de llegar a ella es andando o con los tranvías tradicionales de la ciudad. Su arquitectura, un fascinante collage de estilos que van desde el románico hasta el gótico y el barroco, refleja las distintas etapas de la historia de Lisboa.La entrada vale 9€ y no está incluido en el LisbonCard.

I came to Lisbon yesterday. Today, a day trip, Lisbon Cathedral is the key attraction. This church is the oldest church in Europe. Although it is not big, it has a long historical background and is definitely a tour. The decoration inside is magnificent, a word stick

One of Lisbon's iconic buildings, not particularly tall and majestic, but can see the enthusiasm and passion of the builders and believers

The magnificent cathedral embodies the glory of Portugal
