The Porto Cathedral, located in the historical center of the city of Porto, Portugal, is one of the city's oldest monuments and one of the most important Romanesque monuments in Portugal. It was completed in the 13th century. The cathedral is flanked by two square towers, each supported with two buttresses and crowned with a cupola. The façade lacks decoration and is rather architecturally heterogeneous. It shows a Baroque porch and a Romanesque rose window under a crenellated arch, giving the impression of a fortified church. Immediately adjoined to the structure are Gothic cloisters (foreground).
