Sé de Porto. PORTUGAL









The Porto Cathedral (Portuguese: Sé do Porto), located in the historical centre of the city of Porto, Portugal, is one of the city's oldest monuments and one of the most important Romanesque monuments in Portugal.
The Gothic cloister of Porto Cathedral is decorated with baroque azulejos by Valentim de Almeida (between 1729 and 1731). They depict the life of the Virgin Mary and Ovid's Metamorphoses. The upper terrace is decorated with tile panels by António Vidal depicting some weird scenes, like the chase of the ostrich (Photo 8). Photos from Spring 2014.
