Carmo Church

The church of the Major Seminary of Viseu is part of what was, until 1841, the Convent of the Neris. The church itself dates back to the beginning of the 18th century, in the Baroque period. Its greatest treasure is its monumental pipe organ at the top of the choir, in neoclassical style, which was transferred from Viseu Cathedral to the Major Seminary Church in the 1960s and is currently being restored.

The church of Terceiros de São Francisco dates from the second half of the 18th century. Its façade, designed by António Mendes Coutinho, a disciple of Nicolau Nasoni (1691-1773), was widely copied for other churches in the city. In the "Casa do Despacho" there is a small museum space.

Viseu Cathedral began to take shape in the 12th century as a Romanesque building. The current Gothic cathedral, whose construction began in the 13th century, followed the lines of the original Romanesque building, thus endorsing a Romanesque, rather than Gothic, style that is typically spacious. In the Manueline period, the cathedral of Viseu interventions were undertaken inside and in the cloister. In the 17th century, the façade fell down and had to be repaired, and the choir was also renovated.
