  Catedral do Porto

  The Porto Cathedral, located in the heart of the historic center of the city of Porto, is one of the main and oldest monuments in Portugal. Its construction began in the first half of the 12th century, and continued until the beginning of the 13th century. This first building, in Romanesque style, underwent many changes over the centuries. The general character of the facade with the towers and the beautiful rose window dates back to the Romanesque period, in addition to the body of the church with three naves covered by a barrel vault. The vault of the central nave is supported by flying buttresses, the Porto Cathedral being one of the first Portuguese buildings in which this architectural element was used.

  Igreja do Carmo

  The Igreja do Carmo, in the Baroque/Rococo style, was built in the second half of the 18th century, between 1756 and 1768, by the Third Order of Carmo, designed by architect José Figueiredo Seixas. This church was built on land adjacent to the Church of the Carmelites, on the west side, ceded to the Order in 1752. As the construction of two churches together was not permitted at the time, the so-called Casa Escondida do Porto was built between them, which separates the two churches and it is just over 1 and a half meters wide. It was classified as a National Monument on May 3, 2013, together with the adjacent Carmelite Church.
