Panteão de Santa Engrácia

The large domed edifice immediately behind and below São Vicente is the former church of Santa Engrácia. It took 285 years to build, hence the Portuguese phrase “a job like Santa Engrácia.” Today the building doubles as Portugal’s Panteão Nacional (National Pantheon), housing the tombs of the country’s former presidents as well as cenotaphs dedicated to its most famous explorers and writers. A more recent arrival is fado diva Amália Rodrigues, whose tomb is invariably piled high with flowers from admirers. Campo de Santa Clara, Lisbon 21/885–4820 €4 Closed Mon. Blue Line to Santa Apolónia.
