Overview

Near the train station, you find the Cathedral of Porto (Sé do Porto) that was built in the 12th century as a fortress church. The church is characterized by an unusual mix of architectural styles. The inside of the church is relatively austere and has few frills, but the choir is richly decorated with marble and gold.
