A thousand years is the age of São Geraldo's chalice. A silver piece ordered by D. Afonso Henriques' great-great-great-grandfather to drink with meals. Belonging to the Museu da Sé de Braga, the São Geraldo chalice was made 150 years before the foundation of Portugal and one hundred years before the construction of the Sé de Braga, at the dawn of the reconquest. The chalice of São Geraldo is the oldest testimony in jewelery of how Arab culture is inscribed in the DNA of Iberian Christians.
