Aveiro Cathedral 

The primitive Church of Nossa Senhora da Misericórdia was consecrated in 1464 and was connected to the Dominican convent of the same name. Between the 16th and the 17th centuries it underwent work, and the side aisles were converted into devotional chapels. In 1834, the convent was transformed into military barracks and destroyed by a fire a few years later.
In 1835, the church - with its beautiful baroque portal framed by four Salomonic columns, a frieze with floral decoration and the coat of arms of the Infante D. Pedro, Duke of Coimbra - was converted into the parish of Our Lady of Glory, and in 1938 became the Cathedral of the Diocese of Aveiro with the Bull of Pope Pius XI.
