Cathedral of Miranda do Douro, Cathedral in Miranda do Douro, Portugal.
The Cathedral features two rectangular bell towers, three naves supported by eight Tuscan pillars, and a ribbed vault ceiling spanning the interior space.
Construction of the cathedral started in 1552 under King João III, replacing a 14th-century Gothic church, and received its completion confirmation from Pope Paul V in 1609.
The main altar displays a sculptural retable dedicated to Santa Maria Maior, while additional altarpieces honor saints including Benedict and Nossa Senhora dos Remédios.
Visitors can access the cathedral through the main entrance at Largo da Sé, with guided tours available through the local tourism office in Miranda do Douro.
The Baby Jesus of Cartolinha, an 18th-century religious figure housed in a baroque gilded oratory, receives regular offerings of dresses from local devotees.
