Sé Catedral de Silves

Gothic temple erected using local red sandstone. The temple has suffered quite a lot of alterations during restoration programmes. A portico with an ogival archivolt stands out in the main façade. The baroque style door dates back to 1781. The interior is composed of three naves, the most central of which is more elevated than the other two.
