Igreja de São Miguel / Igreja Matriz de Castelo Branco / Sé Catedral
The Church of São Miguel, which was elevated to the rank of Cathedral in 1956, is located in an area where, since 1213, there are traces of a temple, which would have belonged to the Templars. It was rebuilt in the Renaissance style in the 17th century, although elements from the various construction stages are visible, such as the 16th-century transept, the 17th-century altarpieces or the 18th-century chancel. It has only one nave, separated from the chancel by a Renaissance arch, and the façade has few ornaments.
