Sé Catedral de Silve

The most important Gothic building in the Algarve.

Silves was named the bishopric seat soon after the first conquest of the city from the Arabs in 1189, but the Cathedral was only built after 1268, after the city’s definitive conquest during the reign of King Afonso III. It retained the title of cathedral until the 16th century, when the diocese's headquarters were transferred to Faro as the city was blossoming due to the silting of the Arade River and the growing importance of the Algarve coast. During this period, 26 bishops occupied the Episcopal seat.

It is Gothic in style, heavily influenced by the Monastery of Batalha, with alterations and restorations having been made later on.
The interior has various architectural styles. The apse and the transept have gothic ogival vaults and the side altars feature baroque carvings. You can also see the tombs of Gastão da Ilha and João do Rego, high officials of the city's administration during the 15th century, as well as those of some bishops of Silves. In the centre of the main altar is the tombstone of King John II, buried here in 1495 and whose remains were later transferred to the Monastery of Batalha in 1499.

From the offset the church was dedicated to Saint Mary and, later, to Our Lady of the Conception.
Like most of the buildings in Silves, the cathedral is built in red sandstone, ‘Grés de Silves’, which characterises the city with its tonality and predominance.

Portugal was a pioneer in abolishing the death penalty. The method was by hanging. The last one has been carried out in this square, in Lagos, during the 1st half of the 19th century.
The former abolishment of capital punishment for civil crimes took place in 1867.
