The Cathedral is one of those buildings that mark a city. With the first stone laid in 1147, a few years after the birth of Portugal, the church was completed in the 13th century, bringing a Romanesque style and, even nowadays, a visible magnificence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of its beauty, the church is the stage for the famous Weddings of Santo Ant\u00f3nio, the patron saint of the city. If you visit Lisbon during the santos populares, you may have the opportunity to attend this event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from the striking beauty of the building, both outside and inside, it is also where you can find the monarch’s tomb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
