The Sé Cathedral

This cathedral is one of if not the most famous in all of Lisbon. It is situated on the steep, windy, cobblestone hill that leads up to the Saint George Castle. Due to the fact that parts of it have been destroyed over the years from various earthquakes, it has been remodeled in different eras of Portuguese history, and therefore bears resemblances of different architectural styles.The most visible is the Romanesque aspect that is the front of the Cathedral, which I thought was absolutely beautiful. As you can see in the pictures it is a massive building, I'm glad I got to see and experience it. When Camilia came we went to a really good, traditional Portuguese restaurant close to the cathedral where we enjoyed some of Portugal's famous bacalhau (cod fish). We also took a neat picture of a long row of beautiful Portuguese buildings, all painted in different colors.
