Cathedral “Sé”

The cathedral of Lisbon dates back to the 12th century and was built by order of Alfonso Henriques, first king of Portugal, after having conquered the town to the Moors in 1147. Originally built in Romanic style, the Gothic and Barroque styles result of enlargements of the 14th and 17th centuries. The cathedral was affected by several earthquakes, mainly by the 1755 one, that also destroyed large parts of the city. The Sé, like the Lisbons name their cathedral, was restored in the 20th century, but still you see the devastations, especially in the Gothic cloister (entrance fee 1000 Esc.).
