A Catedral da Guarda. Contributos para a releitura da metamorfose arquitetónica

Abstract

This dissertation has as object of study the Cathedral of Guarda and seeks to understand its evolution and transformation over time. Focusing on the cathedral, different contents are approached, which are divided into three parts. First, using an urban scale analysis, we seek to learn more about the different cathedrals of the city of Guarda until the foundation of the current one. It continues with an in-depth reading of two bibliographic sources that studied the cathedral on the transition from the 19th to the 20th century. Finally, having consolidated the state of the art and with a careful observation of the cathedral and its spaces, it provides a space for debate and questioning of architectural knowledge, with a reading of themes and reflection on the phasing.
