Why Braga Cathedral matters

Braga's cathedral is a patchwork of styles added over centuries, from Romanesque to baroque. Look for the ornate organs and the treasury. It is the centre of the city's religious life, and an easy stop on a walk through the old town.

Talking points

  • It mixes several styles.
  • Organs are ornately carved.
  • A treasury is open to visit.
