Tips

Standing imposingly atop a hill, Porto Cathedral rises amidst narrow streets, guarding the old city. It is the oldest church in Porto and one of its most iconic monuments. Construction began in the 12th century and carries nearly a thousand years of history within its stonework.

From here, the view is breathtaking: red-tiled roofs, towers punctuating the sky, and the Douro River shaping the horizon. In front of the cathedral, an old pillory recalls dark times. During the dictatorship, it served as a symbol of intimidation.
