Cathedral of Porto Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Porto Cathedral was built in the 12th century in romanesque style. The long age of the cathedral can be seen in the bell towers, which gives the building its fortress appearance.
Across the centuries the Cathedral suffered many changes, the powerful looking buttresses on the main façade stand either side of the original Romanesque rose window and the 18th century doorway.
This is a portico beautifully decorated with "azulejos"

Ciao Roberto!

Fantastic architecture photography, with excellent lines and beautiful curves, lots of "plasticity" in its geometry! Excellent framing and composition, great perspective! Perfect light managment and beautiful colours! Congratulations!

Hello Roberto,
A fine view with light well managed to show the gothic structure and the splendid colour contrast with the azulejo's.
Regards,
Paul
