Neither the start of construction nor the date of completion of the old Sé Velha cathedral is available. The construction was probably started in the first years of the reign of Afonso Henriques, who proclaimed himself the first king of Portugal in 1139 after the battle of Ourique and his victory over the Moors and founded the kingdom of Portugal. By the end of the 1170s, construction work on the old cathedral was probably completed. In 1185, the coronation of Sancho I, the successor of Afonso Henriques, took place there.

An impressive Romanesque church that looks like a fortress from the outside.
The interior is a three-aisled basilica. The Gothic cloister is also beautiful. The columns feature various, richly detailed capitals.
