The Bishopric of Portalegre was created in 1550 by Pope Julius III and had D. Julião de Alva as its first bishop.
The construction of the Cathedral began in 1556 and was completed in the early 17th century, with a style that mixes Manueline and Baroque.
The cathedral stands out for its two turrets and decorative portals.
The interior space is vast and features Mannerist decorative elements, with ribbed vaults and altarpieces that depict the life of Christ.
It includes several chapels dedicated to saints, such as Saint Catherine and Our Lady of Mount Carmel, with important works of art.
