Overview
The Portuguese National Pantheon, located in Lisbon’s Alfama district, is a monumental Baroque building that serves as the final resting place for many of Portugal’s most important historical figures. Originally built in the 17th century as the Church of Santa Engrácia, it was only completed in the 20th century, after centuries of interruptions.
The Pantheon is known for its impressive dome, grand interior, and beautiful marble work. It houses the tombs or cenotaphs of national heroes, presidents, writers, and artists, including Amália Rodrigues, the famous fado singer. The building also offers stunning views of the city and the Tagus River from its rooftop terrace. It stands as a symbol of national pride and historical memory.
