The construction of the See began in 1546, according to a project by architect Afonso Álvares, who opted for the mannerist style abroad, retaining a harmonious interior with three naves of the same height, of late Renaissance inspiration. The church was consecrated only in 1574, when it had no sacristy, or other dependencies. In the following centuries some changes have been made thanks to episcopal action. The 1755 earthquake caused serious damage to the main facade, whose reconstruction began the following year. In 1772, D. Frei Miguel de Bolhões and Sousa had the bell tower built a little away from the building, over the old medieval tower of the gates of the sun, which marked the southern entrance into the castle wall. In 1810, during the Napoleonic wars, a fire partially consumed the interior of the church. Outstanding a sober, baroque and mannerist architecture, the See of Leiria has some similarities to those of Portalegre and Miranda do Douro and also bears some vestiges of gothic heritage. It has Latin cross plant and three naves of equal height, separated by pillars. The maneer-style chancel, dated the seventeenth century and is by Baltasar Álvares and Friar João Turriano. It integrates the altarpiece with paintings by Simão Rodrigues, which portray episodes of the life of the Virgin Mary. Two large baroque organs that overlap two side chairs complete the decoration.

Quando entrar na Catedral de Lamego a sua tendência vai ser olhar para o teto, pois tem um pé alto bastante elevado.Percorra as naves da catedral enquanto observa as capelas que adornam as alas do monumento até chegar à capela-mor onde todo o frontal é de prata.A talha dourada sobressai nas paredes de granito e nos grossos pilares que sustentam o teto.Nicolau Nasoni foi o pintor responsável pelos painéis dos tetos, por isso não deixe de os olhar com interesse.Não se esqueça de visitar o claustro, assim como o jardim interior.

Una co catedral con muchas piezas históricas. Muy céntrico

Igreja bem preservada! Sobressai o teto com uma pintura central rodeada de estrelas em relevo.
