Has Romanesque Gothic influences
The Sé or Cathedral of Viana de Castelo is also popularly known as the Iglesia Matriz - it dates from the fifteenth century. It is in the historical center and very close to Plaza de la Republica - the heart of the city. It consists of two large towers topped with battlements, highlights are: its pointed arched door, a few small sculptures of the apostles and a large rose window. Its facade has Romanesque Gothic influences as does the gate. The Sé or Iglesia Matriz is rated as a Property of Public Interest - the photo was taken last year at the Medieval Festival. I have to recognize that the
Cathedral did not catch my attention because I have seen the most interesting cathedrals elsewhere, including the Basilica of Santa Luzia which I found much more beautiful and interesting.
