Its twin towers, its rose window and its dark stone interior have watched over eight centuries of the city&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">History and character<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cathedral was begun in 1147, when Lisbon passed to the first king of Portugal, on the site of the old Moorish mosque. It was rebuilt and altered after the earthquakes that struck the city, keeping its fortress-like Romanesque character, and its cloister, rebuilt after 1755, preserves archaeological remains from the earlier occupations of the hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cosa vedere<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Romanesque west front, with its portal and rose window.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The austere nave and its Gothic royal tombs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The cloister and its archaeological excavations, from Iron Age to medieval Lisbon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The treasury, with sacred art and vestments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visiting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cathedral is in Alfama, in central Lisbon, reached on foot or by tram.
