Sé de Lisboa Cathedral
Sé de Lisboa Cathedral, was commissioned by King Afonso I in 1147, after he conquered the city from the Moors in 1147. It was built on the original site of a Moorish Mosque. Often called the " Sé ," it is the largest Roman Catholic Church in Portugal.
This spectacular Cathedral is a combination of Gothic, Baroque, and Romanesque architecture. The Cathedral has been through several major earthquakes, and one fire over the years. These disasters caused it to be repaired and rebuilt several times, adding to the type of architecture used in it's building. Regardless of the different styles making up the Cathedral, it is ornately beautiful. It became a Portuguese National Monument in the year of 1910.
