The Old Cathedral, or Se Velha, is a must-see for any visitor to Coimbra, Portugal. Located in the upper area of the city, amongst the steep narrow streets and university complex, the Old Cathedral dates back to the reign of King Afonso Henriques and is built in Romanesque style that is prevalent in much of Portugal’s architecture of the time. Coimbra - Old Cathedral - Se Velha The cathedral was built during the second half of the 12th century and was consecrated in 1184. The Old Cathedral is one of the most important Romanesque churches in Portugal. Its construction at the instigation of King Afonso Henriques was to mark his declaration of himself as the King of Portugal, following his victory in the battle of Ourique in 1139, and his choice of Coimbra as his capital. A visit to the cathedral is completed with a visit to the Chapel of the Sacred Sacrament, which was restored in the 16th century following the Mannerist style of the time, by Joao de Ruao, who was also responsible for the lovely Porta Especiosa. The Old Cathedral is located on Largo da Se Velha, in Coimbra’s old town, and is open for visitors daily from 10am to 6pm, with limited visits during services.
