Its construction began in the 12th century, making it one of the oldest sacred buildings in Porto, older than the Klasztor Serra do Pilar.

Sé do Porto Cathedral is one of the city's oldest and most important monuments, with construction beginning in the 12th century. It combines Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque elements, reflecting its long period of construction and reconstruction. Worth seeing are the Romanesque nave, the Gothic cloister adorned with azulejos tiles, and the Baroque altars. In front of the cathedral is a large square with a column, offering views of Porto's historic district and the Douro River. The building serves an important sacred and historical function. The cathedral treasury is also located here.
