The Roots of Faith in Portugal: Braga Cathedral

Braga Cathedral (Se de Braga) is the oldest cathedral in Portugal, with construction beginning in the late 11th century and evolving over several centuries to incorporate various architectural styles. More than just a cathedral, it is considered the heart of Portuguese Catholicism and a key space that shaped the country's religious identity. The cathedral harmoniously blends Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque, and Renaissance styles, making it a living textbook of architectural history. Its exterior retains the robust character of the medieval era, while the interior captivates visitors with intricate ceiling decorations, stained glass windows, and ornate chapels.
