Romanesque cathedral of Coimbra, begun in the late 12th century and one of the finest examples of Romanesque in Portugal. Its fortress-like look, with battlements and narrow windows, recalls the era of the Reconquista. Inside, the Flemish Gothic altarpiece of the main chapel and the Gothic cloister added in the 13th century stand out.
