Cathedral of Castelo Branco
The Cathedral of Castelo Branco or Church of Saint Michael is a Roman Catholic Latin Co-cathedral and former cathedral in Castelo Branco, Portugal.
It is the second official seat of the Catholic Diocese of Portalegre-Castelo Branco, as the bishopric's two-part title suggests, ranking after the Cathedral of Portalegre.History
Much of the cathedral was built in the style of the Renaissance, in the 17th century. It lost its status as a cathedral in 1881 when the Diocese of Castelo Branco was absorbed by the then Diocese of Portalegre. It was restored as co-cathedral in 1956.
Since 12 September 1978, it is protected as one of the National monuments of Portugal.
