Aveiro's cathedral was formerly part of a Dominican convent and contains a Manueline stone cross of Saint Domingo. The cathedral's sober white interior contrasts with the impressive facade centred on a portal flanked by two pairs of unusual Doric pilasters. Note also the three figures 鈥 Faith, Hope and Charity 鈥 along with the coat of arms of Infante D Pedro (the King's son).
