The Church of São Domingos, the current Cathedral, was ordered to erect, together with the convent of the same name, in the 15th century, at the behest of the religious of São Domingos, of Guimarães. In terms of architecture, it receives influences from two styles: the Romanesque, which is the most visible, very evident in the strength and austerity of its lines, and the Gothic. On its facade you can see images of S. Domingos, and S. Francisco de Assis. In 1837 it suffered a great fire that decimated most of the patrimony that it held inside. The tower was added in the century. XVIII, and the stained glass windows were placed during the last intervention works (2001-2005). It is open daily for worship.
