There's been a bishopric here since the 5th or 6th century, but this Sé, or Cathedral of Porto started construction in 1110 and was completed in the 13th century.
Pillory:
The Baroque 18th century Clérigos Church is best known for its tower, which you can see from practically anywhere in Porto:
There's plenty of interesting architecture all over Porto; I especially like this dramatic black and gold Art Nouveau doorway:
San Ildelfonso Church, with its beautiful azulejos tiles:
Azulejos adorn many, many buildings in Porto, and elsewhere in Portugal, for that matter:
Apropos of nothing in particular, a bronze statue of a newsboy at the mailbox:
