To better understand these three places, we resorted to this comparative study that seeks to present the furniture of the cathedral of Lamego by comparing it with the cathedrals of Notre-Dame de Paris, the cathedral of Parma and the cathedral of San Lorenzo in Alba. In the first chapter we tried to present the altar and its importance for the liturgy, going through the liturgical changes from the reform of the Second Vatican Council, as well as to understand what the liturgy consists of, the meaning of the cathedral, its importance and the need to readjust its celebratory space. This is followed by the renovations of each cathedral, including its respective altar.
