The great importance of the church in medieval times is attested by the existence of a papal bull, even during the last Templar, which put the temple attached directly to the Pope and the Holy See, beyond the reach of any diocese. Later in 1455, a bull of Pope Callistus III became the mother of all churches of the discovered territories in Asia, Africa and America and being given the honor of the Cathedral.

The central body includes gabletado the porch of four columns based on ogival archivolts capitelizadas, overwhelming him a magnificent rose window of twelve leaves three lobes. Gablete of the pediment, which involves the portal, is an engraved sign-Saimaa. In lateral bodies, separated from the core by two giants, ripping two cracks wicker three lobes and two-way mirror. The apse, flanked by giant cracks is torn by high warhead little pointed, widely that illuminate the main chapel. The south façade features a gallery run, the level of the ships, framed by Tuscan columns. In the churchyard stands a strong foundation medieval tower that serves as a bell, having the particularity to present separately from the church.

The chapel, which features a ribbed vault coverage, has two altars, and the limestone altar and the other of wood. In this chapel, admire is a sixteenth-century stone sculpture, exhibited at the altar, representing Our Lady of Milk and the renaissance of the small chest Bishop Diogo Pinheiro, sheltered under a arcosolium perfect round, with a coffered vaulted soffit and decorated with cherubs in archivolt.
