Guarda - Cathedral Catedral
|
|
The Catedral, which is in the middle of the town, is a granite building of fortress like appearance, with crenellated walls. It was begun in Gothic style in 1390 and completed in the 16th C., although the portal on the northern transept still looks Gothic. The Manueline additions, notably the west front and doorway, were built by Manuel I's great architect, Boytaca, on the model of Batalha Abbey.
