It was the first church of importance built overseas by the Portuguese. Ordered by King Manuel I in 1514 and built by the master Pêro Annes, it has a sober whitewashed façade surrounded by black basalt and red tufa. The architectural beauty of the building is associated with its Hispano-Arabic and Romano-Gothic lines. Inside, the ceiling has a Manueline inlay of wood and ivory, and a representation of the world and scenes depicting the great discoveries. The gilded Flemish style choir is flamboyant.

Très belle cathédrale, le plafond en bois de cèdre de style mudéjare m'a particulièrement impressionnée. L'entrée est gratuite et cela vaut la peine de faire la visite.

Un immanquable ! Moins impressionnante que l'église des Jésuites mais vaut évidemment le détour !

Jolie cathédrale, mais très petite, en France on l'appellerait église. A noter la sculpture de Jean-Paul 2 juste devant
