Majestic New Cathedral

New Cathedral, officially called the Cathedral of Coimbra, stands as a testament to 17th-century religious architecture in Portugal.

Founded by the Jesuits in 1598 and completed in 1698, this Catholic cathedral showcases Mannerist and Baroque styles. Notable for its impressive two-tier white facade, its interior is filled with gilt panels and an elaborate baroque altarpiece. A unique feature is the gallery of reliquaries housing relics of saints, including St Francis Xavier and St Luke. Climb to the viewing platform for panoramic views of Coimbra.
