Originally constructed in the 17th century as the Church of Santa Engracia, the National Pantheon now stands as a prominent landmark in Lisbon’s Alfama district. This massive white structure houses the remains of many notable Portuguese figures, including the fado legend Amália Rodrigues. Inside, visitors can admire the interiors adorned with beautiful Italian marble. The building’s imposing presence and historical significance make it a key site for those interested in Portugal’s rich cultural and historical heritage.
