Porto Cathedral: A Medieval Gem in Northern Portugal

The Porto Cathedral (Sé do Porto) has an exterior that exudes a fortress-like sturdiness, while its interior features a Baroque-style altar adorned with gold and an impressive rose window.
Notably, the cloister (monastic garden) adjacent to the cathedral is lined with traditional Portuguese azulejos (blue tiles) that vividly depict scenes from the Bible.

The square in front of the cathedral offers a panoramic view of Porto city, the Douro River, and the Dom Luís I Bridge, making it a popular spot for tourists to take photos.
