Photographer’s Note

The Cathedral (Se) in the city of Braga. The cathedral was built in the XII century by the Earl Dom Henrique and his wife Teresa on the site where the Arabs, four centuries before, had destroyed the original church of Santa Maria. The galilee belongs to the end of the XV century and was completed in the XVI century by the Archbishop Dom Diogo de Sousa. From the XV century there is also a Gothic-Flemish tomb in gilt bronze, containing the mortal remains of the Infante Dom Afonso, son of Dom Joao I. The font, also of Anca stone, is in the Manueline style.
