   The Porto Cathedral is a Romanesque-Gothic building from the 12th and 13th centuries, which underwent major renovations in the Baroque period (17th-18th centuries). Inside, it still retains the appearance of a fortress church, with battlements. Of particular note is the beautiful rose window (12th century) and the loggia or side galilee (1736), the work of Nicolau Nasoni, facing the city. Next to the doors are monumental holy water fonts from the late 17th century. Next to the 17th century baptismal font, there is a bas-relief by Teixeira Lopes (Father).
