Car Rental at 'Barcelos'

Step inside the cathedral, and you will see a marble altar with wooden columns covered with gold. The Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament is the place where visitors will see a silver beautifully decorated icon. Because of the shine of numerous jewels the icon seems to be moving. Beautiful murals also deserve your closets attention. The majority of precious items are collected in the treasury of the cathedral (Tesouro da Se). In addition to ornaments and other decorations of the XIV-XVIII centuries, the treasury is the place where you will find items made of silver and old books. There is a gothic monastery of the XIV century near the cathedral. Its corridor is decorated with glazed tiles laid in the XVIII century. The tiles depict stories from life of Mary and the scenes from "the Metamorphoses" by the Roman poet Ovid. The square in front of the cathedral is the location of the pillory (pelourinho) with a crown on the top.

San Francisco Church.
Just like the cathedral, the Franciscan Church of San Francisco (Igreja de Sao Fransisco) is an amazing combination of different architectural styles. Originally, this was a gothic church, and you can see that by the rare of the building. However, eventually some elements of the Baroque style appeared in its design. The church was built in the XIV-XV centuries. In the XVI century a baptismal chapel was added to it. The chapel was designed by architect Diego de Castillo. The altar of the chapel is decorated with icons representing scenes from Epiphany.
