Cathedral of Guarda
Cathedral of Guarda, Gothic cathedral in Guarda, Portugal
The cathedral exhibits Late Gothic architecture with octagonal towers and a Latin cross floor plan containing three naves and interconnecting chapels.
Construction commenced in 1390 under King John I and continued until the mid-16th century, replacing previous religious structures outside the city walls.
The central altarpiece, created in João de Ruão's workshop, contains over one hundred sculpted figures depicting biblical scenes and religious characters.
The cathedral opens from 10:00 to 13:00 and 14:00 to 17:30 between April and October, with modified hours during winter months.
The cathedral combines fortress characteristics with refined decorative elements, featuring granite walls complemented by Manueline architectural details.
