Porto Cathedral
No. 10 of Best Things to Do in Portugal

Porto Cathedral

7.8
4.7/5
121 reviews
Porto Cathedral stands prominently on a hill in Porto, one of the city's ancient monuments. The facade is almost devoid of decoration, making it quite unique among church architecture: two square bell towers flank the sides, with a Romanesque rose window and a Baroque-era portico set against a plain facade, while the crenellated battlements above give the entire structure a fortress-like appearance. The Baroque loggia on the side facade, designed by Italian architect Nicolau Nasoni, adds a touch of splendor to the exterior. Porto Cathedral stands majestically on the high ground of the old town, one of the ancient buildings still existing in Porto and an important example of Romanesque architecture in Portugal. The cathedral was first built around 1110 and largely completed in the 13th century, with Gothic and Baroque elements added over the following centuries: the Romanesque nave, Gothic cloister, and Baroque loggia coexist within the same structure, making a visit akin to flipping through a three-dimensional architectural history book. As a city landmark that has existed for nearly a millennium, the church was built approx. in 1110, with construction spanning a century. Even today, many intricate architectural features remain fascinating. The square bell towers on either side of the church are quite unique due to their nearly bare facades, while the crenellated structures at the top incorporate castle-like elements. Additionally, the interior features many delightful blue-and-white tile murals, a hallmark of Portuguese architecture.Porto · 87.3km from Mei

The Sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Monte is located on Mount Espinó, on the outskirts of Braga in northern Portugal. It is a historic Roman Catholic pilgrimage site. Its most famous feature is the magnificent zigzag Baroque steps, which climb 116 meters. Along the way, there are many chapels, fountains and sculptures depicting the scenes of the Passion of Jesus. The sanctuary was built in the 14th century, and the existing buildings were mainly built from the 18th to the early 19th century, combining Baroque and neoclassical styles. Among them, the famous "Five Senses Steps" symbolize vision, hearing, smell, taste and touch through fountains, reflecting the combination of religion and art. To facilitate tourists to climb to the top, one of the earliest cable cars in the Iberian Peninsula was built in 1882 and is still in operation. In 2019, the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Monte was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and became an important cultural landmark in Braga.Braga · 41.3km from Mei

Chapel of Souls is located on Rua de Santa Catarina in the city center of Porto, Portugal, and is one of the representative religious buildings in the area. It was built in the early 18th century, with the overall building based on a simple stone structure, featuring an entrance, arched decorative windows, and a two-story bell tower on the front. A distinctive feature here is the large area of traditional blue-and-white Portuguese tiles covering the exterior walls. The tile decoration was completed in 1929, and the images depict the lives of Saint Francis and Saint Catherine, as well as religious stories. The blue-and-white patterns extend along the front and side walls, creating a striking contrast with the surrounding busy commercial street. The interior of the building features a main altar, side altars, and religious art decorations, including an altarpiece depicting the Ascension of Christ, as well as stained-glass windows.Porto · 86.4km from Mei

Public Library of Salamanca - Casa de las Conchas

5.1
5.0/5
25 reviews
Public Library of Salamanca - Casa de las Conchas is located in the heart of Salamanca's old town and is a highly recognizable palace in this university city. Construction began in the late 15th century, commissioned by Rodrigo Arias Maldonado, a knight of the Order of Santiago, and it took over 20 years to complete. The facade blends a Gothic framework with early Renaissance Plateresque ornamentation, serving as a testament to the era of transition between old and new architectural styles. More than 300 protruding scallop shell carvings cling to the exterior, densely covering the walls, a feature quite rare among similar buildings in Spain. Today, the building serves as a public library. Stepping inside, you can visit the courtyard surrounded by two-story arcades, where the row of short marble columns on the upper level is particularly exquisite.Spain · Salamanca

Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fátima

The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fatima is located in the Santarém region in central Portugal and is an important Catholic pilgrimage site. The site gradually formed a religious complex due to a religious event witnessed by three shepherds in the early 20th century. The core area includes an open-air square and religious buildings. The square is characterized by geometric limestone paving. In the center stands the neoclassical cathedral. The adjacent Chapel of Apparition retains the original stone structure, marking the legendary location of the apparition of the Virgin. Pilgrimage activities include traditional forms such as kneeling rituals and candlelight parades. Believers often complete religious practices along specific routes. The attached religious museum collects objects donated by believers of all generations, reflecting the expression of faith in different periods. As a modern religious activity center, its building complex combines traditional religious elements with modern functional design, and has both religious rituals and cultural heritage protection functions, providing researchers with samples for observing contemporary religious practices.Portugal · Fatima

The marina is located in the heart of the old Porto city, on the edge of the Douro River. Historically, merchant ships from here were an important means of trade for the city and the world. Notorious historical wars also took place here, and there is a bronze relief to commemorate this historical moment. Today this area is loved by Portos and tourists alike, with countless bars, cafés and restaurants filled with smiling people day and night. The charming medieval old buildings, the old streets and alleys, the Porto wine cellar on the opposite side of the Gaya Pier, the Don Luis I iron bridge, the traditional upturned boats floating on the river... Some people say that this is the best place in Porto. A romantic place, indeed it is a wonderful thing to sit under a medieval arch and have dinner with a loved one. The Libera Pier at the festival has beautiful fireworks, which makes the area more popular. Walking west along the river bank, past the square, you can see the Casado Infante, located in Ruada Alfândega 10. The navigator Prince Henry was born here in 1394. Historically, it used to be the customs office of the city. It is now used to store the city archives, including Prince Henry's baptism of birth and his notes, as well as many materials related to the city. found here.Porto · 87.5km from Mei

It is no exaggeration to use "magnificent" to describe the Plaza Mayor de Salamanca in the center of Salamanca. The classical Baroque architectural style is unique among many squares in Spain, and it leaves a deep impression on many tourists. The starting point of every walking tour in Salamanca. As a popular resting place for citizens and tourists, Plaza Mayor de Salamancais known as the "heart full of sunshine and air". It was built by Albert Churigra in 1775 and was finally completed after the hard work of many architects. This is one of the more gorgeous squares in Spain. Since then, Plaza Mayor de Salamanca has witnessed the socio-economic and religious changes that have taken place in Spain and Salamanca. It can be said that this is a better platform for people to understand Salamanca.Spain · Salamanca

Bom Jesus do Monte is a notable sanctuary and pilgrimage site situated on a hill in the outskirts of Braga, a historic city in northern Portugal. Inscribed in 2019 as a UNESCO world heritage site, the sanctuary is completely accessible to the public and does not charge any entrance fee. The most iconic feature of the sanctuary is the monumental Baroque stairway leading to the Church of Bom Jesus do Monte. We took a taxi which send us to the church directly we so skipped climbing up the 577 steps on the 116-metre stairway. Instead we walked down the stairway after visiting the sanctuary complex. An alternative way to reach the church is by taking the water-powered funicular. The fee is 2 euros for a one-way journey and 3 euros for a round trip.

There are old towns along the Douro River. Although they look a bit shabby at first glance, I really like the atmosphere of history that is a bit dilapidated. The old town is also colorful and well-arranged, and it looks even more lovely under the sunshine. There are many small shops in the old street where you can stroll around and buy some local specialties. There are also many scenic restaurants along the river where you can spend a very relaxing afternoon.

Obidos, north of Lisbon, was once ruled by the Moors and ancient Rome, leaving behind many historical buildings. In the 12th century, the king at the time gave it to the queen because he loved it. After that, Obidos became a town inherited by successive queens. The Santa Maria Church in the town is the holy place where the king and queen got married. The cobblestone road spirals up and leads us to the city gate. The beautiful white-bottomed blue-flowered painted tiles are very eye-catching. Climb up the walls around the castle and you can see far away. The main street is full of souvenir shops, restaurants, and stalls selling Ginja. This brandy produced in Obidos is cherry wine served in chocolate cups. It costs 1 euro a cup. It has a strong fruity flavor and is mellow and delicious. Obidos is very popular with tourists because of its beautiful scenery.

There are so many people. The bridge has two floors. The lower floor is mainly for traffic, and the upper floor has a large number of hikers and trams. You can stop to admire the Douro River and the buildings on both sides. The scenery is very good. There are railways and trams on the bridge, so you must pay attention to safety and be careful about your finances.

The Holy Spirit Church in Bodo is a blue and white porcelain tile building. It uses tiles to collage stories from the Bible. It is very creative and distinctive. It is very conspicuous at the corner and is also a photo spot. If you have the opportunity, you can come to Bodo. It is a very beautiful attraction!

There is a very famous building in Salamanca, the Shell Stand, which is famous because tens of thousands of shells are carved on the outer wall of the building. It looks densely packed, hence the name. It is also one of the most famous attractions in Salamanca, and you must come and see it.

The main square of Salamanca is said to be the most beautiful in Spain. It is indeed beautiful, but the weak light in winter cannot compare with the bright sunshine in summer, so the photos we took are not as good. There are many celebrity portraits around the square. According to LP, Franco's portrait is covered with plastic bags to prevent it from being damaged, but we didn't find it and left.
