Beautiful cathedral in the city center with Gothic tower dating to 12th century (rest was added in 16th and 17th centuries). It is often erroneously mixed up with famous Sanctuary church at the top of Stairs. According to the legend first king of Portugal was declared to be as such in this cathedral. Curious feature of cathedral’s gates is presence of some erotic sculptures that might have been added in Renaissance era. It is in plain eyesight but not easy to spot.

The church, established in 1129, is a marvel of Gothic architecture. Admission is free, allowing visitors to explore its numerous internal gates. Notably, a gate on the left side opens to a serene fountain, flanked by exquisitely crafted columns.

Requires time to just set, contemplate, and pray. So many aspects of Mary's life that we know, but often fail to consider. The reality of Mary's pregnancy is depicted for our consideration. Allow time for prayer and maybe a Rosary. A must stop

La Catedral de Lamego (o Sé), es más antigua que Portugal, y ha sido declarada como monumento nacional. La edificación original data del año 1119, pero de ella tan sólo se conserva la base del campanario. El resto de la estructura, de la cual destaca su impresionante pórtico tallado de estilo gótico triple, data principalmente de los siglos XVI y XVIII. Destaca su techo, ya que muestra unos atractivos frescos bíblicos que parecen sobresalir, y la sillería del coro, ambos obra del arquitecto barroco Niclau Naoni, que dejó su huella por todo Oporto. También resulta interesante su claustro de estilo renacentista con una docena de arcos.

Bem no centro da cidade, surge majestosa a Sé de Lamego, cuja construção se iniciou no ano de 1159 e que mistura vários estilos arquitetónicos de várias épocas (como a Torre do lado sul, marcadamente românica, o triplo Pórtico, manuelino, o claustro maneirista ou a capela-mor, do período barroco). Os painéis que Grão Vasco pintou para o altar-mor encontram-se atualmente no vizinho Museu de Lamego. Classificada como Monumento Nacional desde 1910, é de visita livre e, diria, obrigatória, para quem viaja até Lamego, pela sua importância histórica e pela sua imponente beleza

The most gorgeous doors of wood and brass. The entire town of Lamego is so beautiful and worth a visit. It was closed for lunch when we got there, but still enjoyed viewing the outside.
