A Historical Treasure: La Cathédrale
La Cathédrale, also known as Sé de Lisboa, is a Roman Catholic cathedral built in 1147 on the site of a former mosque. It serves as the seat of the Patriarchate of Lisbon.
Initially founded by Afonso Henriques, it has been a significant religious site and burial place for St. Anthony. It exhibits a unique mix of architectural styles due to its reconstruction after multiple earthquakes, most notably the one in 1755.
