Dedicated to St. Catherine of Alexandria, it was built to commemorate the Portuguese victory over a Muslim army, which coincided with the feast day of St. Catherine.

The cathedral features a magnificent façade, intricate interiors, and a bell known as the "Golden Bell," reputed to be one of the best in the world.
