Casa dos Coimbras This curious exemplar of Braga’s civilian architecture has its origins in an old house of the middle XV century. In the year 1505, João de Coimbra bought it and since that time it was often remodeled, including the construction of Casa dos Coimbras’ chapel. You can’t miss some of their windows in Manueline style that resisted a demolition in 1906. The IAMCR Reception on the 19 July will take place here.
Sé de Braga (Cathedral) The expression “as ancient as Braga’s cathedral” is very common in Portugal. Today we visit a temple that substituted another one destroyed in 967; its reconstruction started in 1070, so the cathedral is older than the Portuguese kingdom itself (1143). This building has been renovated several times over the centuries, which explains its big dimension and its astonishing overlapping of styles. A visit to the Cathedral’s Treasure Museum is also strongly advised. Tuesday to Sunday: 09h00/12h30 - 14h00/18h30 Rua D. Paio Mendes Tel: (+351) 253 263 317
