First of all, this place is NOT "free" like Google maps claims. But the entry fee is only €4, and probably worth a look around. It's an amazing structure. They have a balcony view from above the front door (under the circular stain glass window) out to the street. On the other side of the stain glass window is the balcony looking down been to the pews. When the organ is playing it sounds amazing from the balcony above (I guess it's the way the sound travels within the building). On the second floor is a fascinating treasury museum, but they don't allow you to take any pictures in that area, so I'm sorry I don't have any to include with my review. After visiting the upper levels, you can come down the stairs and walk around behind the front area. There are several shrine rooms with various religious displays. I think I spent maybe 45 minutes to an hour to see most of what was on display. And, as with most of the tourists sites, there's plenty of souvenir and food shops around and down the hill from this cathedral.

Amazing how old this place is, built from 1100s to 1300s. Interesting museum of some catholic artifacts. Building is just so grand and impressive for its age. Location is great on the way to the castle , old moorish quarter and scenic overlook

Beautiful building on the outside but nothing special on the inside. You have to pay to venture past the back pew. It was reasonably simply decorated and I'm sure there are more impressive churches elsewhere in Lisbon - certainly more impressive buildings.

The solid and imposing Se Cathedral is Lisbon’s most important and iconic religious building. Since the 12th century the Se Cathedral has been entwined in Portugal’s early history, which bore witness to the baptism, marriage and passing of Portugal’s nobility and elite. The exterior of the grand old church resembles more that of a fortification than religious centre, with massive solid walls and two imposing clock towers.
