This image is not from Portugal but from India — where we also have a Se Catedral. This one is the earliest ever Catedral in Asia.- so read on for The Portuguese Camino with a Goan Twist.
The Se Cathedral in Goa was built to commemorate the victory of the Portuguese over a Muslim army, leading to the capture of the city of Goa in 1510. It was commissioned by Governor George Cabral to be enlarged in 1552 on the remains of an earlier structure. Construction of the church began in 1562 in the reign of King Dom Sebastião.
