Santa Maria Maior de Lisboa Cathedral

Santa Maria Maior, the city's oldest church, was originally erected in 1147. It was constructed on the former site of a Moorish mosque following the conquest of Lisbon by Christian forces led by King Afonso Henriquez. During this pivotal period, the relics of St. Vincent of Saragossa, the city's patron saint, were transported from southern Portugal and are enshrined here.
