Churches

Once part of a Dominican monastery, the Gothic sé has been given a lengthy facelift that has restored the 15th-century grandeur of its rather spare interior.

Northeast of the cathedral is the magnificent baroque facade of the 17th-century Capela Nova . Inside are fine 18th-century azulejos and large-headed cherubs with teddy-boy coifs.

More baroque, and more azulejos , are on view at the Igreja de São Pedro , one block north of Capela Nova.
