Our Lady of the Assumption Cathedral, Lamego, Medieval cathedral in Lamego, Portugal.

The Cathedral of Lamego combines Gothic exterior architecture with Renaissance elements, featuring a monumental square tower on the south side of its main façade.

The construction of the cathedral started in 1159 on the foundation of a chapel dedicated to Saint Sebastian and received its consecration in 1175.

The cathedral houses religious art collections, including panels by Portuguese artist Grão Vasco created for the main chapel during the 16th century.

Located at Largo da Sé in Lamego, the cathedral stands next to the former Bishops' Palace, which now functions as the Lamego Museum.

The triple portico added in the 15th century represents the principal Manueline architectural work in the Lamego region.
