As its name suggests, the current cathedral comes from a Dominican convent founded by monks from Guimarães in the 15th century. The church was modified in the 16th century, and especially in the 18th century when the present choir and bell tower were built in Baroque style. In 1834, with the extinction of the religious orders, the church became a parish church. It became a cathedral in 1924 when the Diocese of Vila Real was created.
Viljandi, EE
In 1972, the then chief architect íìlo Stí?í?r and the fire chief Adolf Jí?rna refused to grant permission to build a reinforced concrete ceiling in the church. The possessor did not repair the building, the roof ran through and the church began to fall apart. The builders remember that the roof was so dilapidated that the sky could be seen from inside the church. The reconstruction of the church building began with the national awakening. In order to save the church building as a medieval architectural monument, the reconstruction of the building into a concert hall was started in the 1980s.
