Our Lady of the Assumption Cathedral, Santarém, Cathedral structure in Santarém, Portugal.

The Our Lady of the Assumption Cathedral exhibits Mannerist architecture with symmetrical forms and stands in the São Salvador district of Santarém.

Initially constructed as a Jesuit church on the former royal palace grounds in 1711, the building received cathedral status in 1975 with the creation of Santarém Diocese.

The Episcopal Palace section of the cathedral houses the Diocesan Museum, presenting artifacts that document the relationship between church and community.

The cathedral maintains regular mass schedules and religious services at Praça Sá da Bandeira, serving the Catholic population of Santarém and surrounding areas.

The cathedral structure incorporates elements from the abandoned Alcazaba Nova palace, which remained unused since the reign of King John II.
