Porto's cathedral is a 12th-century Romanesque basilica built like a fortress on a bluff above the river; King João I married Philippa of Lancaster here in 1387. Inside are a Gothic cloister lined with 16th–18th century azulejo tiles, a treasury with a silver altarpiece, and terraces with views over the old town. The nave is free for worshippers; a ticket covers the cloister, museum and tower.

Highlights

  • A Romanesque fortress from the 1100s
  • Tiled cloister and treasury
  • João I's 1387 royal wedding
  • Old-town views from the terraces
