Hello everyone and welcome to my blog :-)
Continuing our discovery of Viseu we went to Adro da Sé, one of the most emblematic places in the city, it is an experience that reveals the city's deep cultural and religious heritage.
It is a large square located in the historic center, surrounded by historic buildings that tell the story of the city over the centuries. In the center of this space, the majestic Sé Cathedral of Viseu stands out and also a cross with the coat of arms of Bishop D.Júlio de Oliveira.

Continuando a nossa descoberta de Viseu fomos até ao Adro da Sé, um dos lugares mais emblemáticos da cidade, é uma experiência que revela a profunda herança cultural e religiosa da cidade.
É uma ampla praça situada no centro histórico , rodeada por edifícios também eles históricos que contam a história da cidade ao longo dos séculos. No centro deste espaço, destaca-se a majestosa Sé Catedral de Viseu e também um cruzeiro com as armas do Bispo D.Júlio de Oliveira.
Around it, tourists or visitors (like us) find several points of interest. One of these points is the Grão Vasco Museum, located in the former Paço dos Três Escalões. In this museum we find a wide collection of art, including works by Vasco Fernandes, known as Grão Vasco, one of the most important Portuguese Renaissance painters.
Another notable building in the Adro da Sé is the Igreja da Misericórdia, located in front of the cathedral. But I already told you about this in one of the previous posts.

Ao seu redor, os turistas ou visitantes (como nós) encontram diversos pontos de interesse. Um desses pontos é o Museu Grão Vasco, localizado no antigo Paço dos Três Escalões. Neste museu encontramos uma ampla coleção de arte, incluindo obras de Vasco Fernandes, conhecido como Grão Vasco, um dos mais importantes pintores renascentistas portugueses.
Outro edifício notável no Adro da Sé é a Igreja da Misericórdia, situada em frente à catedral. Mas sobre esta eu já vos falei num dos post anteriores.
While strolling through the Adro da Sé, visitors can appreciate typical sidewalks of the historic center of Viseu. These surrounding streets are full of old houses, traditional shops, cafes and restaurants that offer the opportunity to taste traditional local food and relax while soaking up the city's historic atmosphere.
We then head to the entrance of Sé Esta, whose construction began in the 12th century and makes it an example of Romanesque and Gothic architecture, with baroque elements that were added later.
The Cathedral is an imposing monument, with a facade with different architectural styles, the result of various phases of construction and remodeling over the centuries.

Enquanto passeamos pelo Adro da Sé, os visitantes podemos apreciar calçadas típicas do centro histórico de Viseu. Estas ruas em seu redor são repletas de casas antigas, lojas tradicionais, cafés e restaurantes que oferecem a oportunidade de degustar comida tradiconal local e relaxar enquanto se absorve a atmosfera histórica da cidade.
Dirigimo-nos então à entrada da Sé Esta, cuja construção começou no século XII e faz dela um exemplo da arquitetura românica e gótica, com elementos barrocos que foram adicionados posteriormente.
A Sé Catedral é um monumento imponente, com uma fachada com diferentes estilos arquitetônicos, resultado das várias fases de construção e remodelação ao longo dos séculos.
I personally spent a few long minutes observing the details and trying to absorb what my eyes were showing me.
We chose to enter through the cloister that connects to the interior of the cathedral.
The restoration work is incredible and the tile wall that you can see in the photos was very well done. The stone is crafted to perfection and the wooden doors make us travel back in time.

Eu, pessoalmente fiquei uns largos minutos a observar os detalhes e a tentar absorver o que os meus olhos me mostravam.
Optamos por entrar pelo claustro que tem ligação ao interior da catedral.
O trabalho de restuaro é incrivel e a parede de azulejos que aqui nas fotos podem observar foi muito bem conseguida. A pedra está trabalhada na perfeição e as portas de madeira fazem-nos viajar no tempo.
The sun illuminates the space and gives it a welcoming atmosphere and the silence that is very present allows us to escape the noise right next door.
In short, a walk through the Adro da Sé in Viseu is a journey through time, where history, art and architecture come together to provide a unique experience. The Cathedral, with its grandeur and beauty, is the central point of this journey. Tomorrow I'll show you the interior, which is one of the most spectacular I've ever seen!

O sol ilumina o espaço e dá-lhe um ar acolhedor e o silencio que se faz basntante presente permite-nos escapar do barulho logo ali ao lado.
Em suma, um passeio pelo Adro da Sé em Viseu é uma viagem pelo tempo, onde a história, a arte e a arquitetura se encontram para proporcionar uma experiência única. A Sé Catedral, com sua imponência e beleza, é o ponto central desta jornada. Amanha mostro o interior que é um dos mais espetaculares que eu já vi!
I hope you enjoyed.
See you around.
Wishing you much peace and health
