Faro's Gothic cathedral features a tower and a large ogival portal, with 2 side chapels in the transept.

Built in the Gothic style in 1249, Faro Cathedral was the successor to a Muslim mosque, itself built on a Roman temple. Some notable remains of its origins remain, such as the tower and the large ogival portal. The two side chapels of the transept, surmounted by ribbed vaults, also in Gothic style, date from the 15th century. Plundered and burnt down in 1596, it has been refurbished many times. Worth seeing are the late 17th century azulejos that adorn the Capela de Nossa Senhora do Rosário and the tomb of the knight Rui Valente.

Située dans le centre historique de la ville, franchir pour y accéder une des portes du site, et sur une très belle place avec de jolies maisons et façades, trône cette cathédrale. Entrée payante et que de monde à la visite, bien choisir son moment!
