Located in the city centre, the Cathedral was built in the reign of Dom Manuel and features characteristics of Manueline and Gothic style.

Its facade, divided in three panels, has a beautiful Gothic portal in the central panel, composed by ashlar from Cabo Girão.

The Gothic portal features eight archivolts with pointed arches, giving an unique look to the entrance.

Over the years the Cathedral acquired new features, making it an artistic miscegenation example.

The ceiling is an outstanding example of Mudejar décor, made in island’s cedar wood, requiring special attention, as well as the choir chairs of the chancel.
