Coole Reiterstatue direkt neben der Kathedrale. Sie zeigt Vímara Peres, einen bedeutenden Ritter und Gründer der Grafschaft Portucale im 9. Jahrhundert – ein früher Vorläufer des heutigen Portugals. Beeindruckend in Szene gesetzt, mit schönem Blick über die Stadt. Kein Highlight, aber ein markanter Punkt auf dem Kathedralenplatz.

The statue just outside the cathedral is beautiful and showcases the warriors of the past kingdom army.
