The Terreiro da Sé, which is framed by the buildings of the Cathedral, Casa do Cabido, Paço Episcopal and Casa da Câmara, is the result of requalification works in 1940, which consisted of the demolition of several blocks of medieval origin to make way for a large enclosure that In 1945, on the initiative of Porto City Council, it received a pillory. From this place it is possible to see the entire Barredo area, the Douro River and the city of Gaia.
