Posto tranquillo che concilia gli animi tormentati

A chi può interessare, Sto cercando il certificato di matrimonio di ZAIRA DELLA VALLE e TEOBALDO CERVINI sposati all'incirca nel 1878. Non so dove si siano sposati ma è nata Borghetto di Vara e lui a San ilario in Campo. Questo documento è l'ultimo di cui ho bisogno per ottenere la cittadinanza, motivo per cui è così importante trovarlo. Grazie in anticipo per la collaborazione. Saluti,

Sé Catedral (Cathedral of Lisbon)

The Cathedral of Saint Mary Major, often called Lisbon Cathedral or simply the Sé, is a Roman Catholic cathedral located in Lisbon, Portugal. The oldest church in the city, it is the seat of the Patriarchate of Lisbon. The cathedral has survived many earthquakes and has been modified, renovated and restored several times. It is nowadays a mix of different architectural styles. 

The site where it stands was the principal mosque of Lisbon when it was an Arab settlement. The construction of the cathedral started around 1150, three years after the city was conquered from the Moors during the Second Crusade. Shortly after the victory the English knight Gilbert of Hastings was named bishop of the city of Lisbon.

One good reason to visit the Cathedral is to visit its charming cloisters located in the back. There are several tombs in the cathedral, the most notable of which is the beautifully sculpted tomb of Lopo Fernandes Pacheco and his wife.
