Cathedral of Castelo Branco

The (Co-)Cathedral of Castelo Branco or Church of Saint Michael (archangel) (Portuguese: Sé de Castelo Branco, Igreja de São Miguel) is a Roman Catholic Latin Co-cathedral and former cathedral in Castelo Branco, Portugal.

It is the second official seat of the Catholic Diocese of Portalegre-Castelo Branco, as the bishopric's two-part title suggests, ranking after the Cathedral of Portalegre.

History

Much of the cathedral was built in the style of the Renaissance, in the 17th century. It lost its status as a cathedral in 1881 when the Diocese of Castelo Branco (founded 1771) was absorbed by the then Diocese of Portalegre (which also adopted its title). It was restored as co-cathedral in 1956.[1]

Since 12 September 1978, it is protected as one of the National monuments of Portugal.[2]

gollark: Lots of these things just dump all notes in a folder of plaintext files and use git for sync/revision control, but I feel like this is a horrible system which is prone to badness.
gollark: minoteaur, coming never, will eventually never include an actual dedicated synchronization engine, to deal with this.
gollark: Currently "my notes" means "the DokuWiki data folder", which is not actually that much use since I can't access it concurrently without breaking things, meaning to make edits I have to suffer the latency back to the main osmarksßservers.
gollark: The memeCLOUD™ is part of the part of my data collection which gets synchronized onto most of my available stuff, which includes my notes, archived webpages/PDFs, various public content, ebooks, and music, but *not* video media.
gollark: 128GB on my laptop, foolishly.
