Our Lady of Grace Cathedral, Setúbal
Our Lady of Grace Cathedral, Setúbal, Gothic and Mannerist cathedral in Santa Maria da Graça, Portugal.
Our Lady of Grace Cathedral is a brick church building with architectural features spanning multiple periods, most notably Mannerist and Gothic elements. The interior displays decorated tiles from the 17th and 18th centuries alongside frescoed columns, while the overall design follows Renaissance proportions.
Construction began in the 13th century, but major transformations occurred in the 16th century under architect António Rodrigues, who shaped the building's current appearance. These changes embedded Mannerist and Renaissance features that define the structure today.
The cathedral anchors the heart of Setúbal and serves as both a spiritual gathering place and a symbol of community continuity. Its presence shapes how residents and visitors navigate and understand the historic center.
The cathedral sits within walking distance from Setúbal's administrative center and is easy to reach on foot. As an active place of worship, visitors should be aware of service times and access restrictions that may apply.
The cathedral connects to an adjacent historic hospital building that intertwines the city's medical past with its spiritual life. This physical and functional link reveals how religious institutions once served broader community needs beyond worship.
