The National Pantheon is located in Campo de Santa Clara, 1100-471 Lisboa, and is open from Tuesday to Sunday 1000-1800. It is around 400 meters 7 minutes walk from Santa Apolonia metro station, or 450 meters 6 minutes walk from Cc.S.Vicente tram stop ( tram 28 ).
This grand Baroque building was a Church of Santa Engracia, but it became the National Pantheon in 1916, which houses the tombs of the country's most distinguished figures. The building is on the plan of a Geek cross, and the interior is covered in beautiful, multicolored slabs of polished marble and it is crowned with a dome.
The main reason for the visit, however is the large terrace by the dome, which offers a view over Alfama and the river. Try visiting in Saturday or Tuesday morning, when the city's flea market takes place in the shadow of the monument.
Very beautiful building, made of white stone, you can see the sea. Taking pictures from a distance is also beautiful. This should be a museum converted from a church, which is very magnificent. If you have time, you can go around.
There are many monuments to Portuguese heroes, including Dagama, James, and folk singer Amaria Rogriguez. Step by step up to the church, as well as various exhibitions of the former President, to the top, you can see the panorama of Alpha, the red roof and the streets.
The National Ancient Temple is an exquisite Baroque style building built in the 17th century. It was originally the Igrejade Santa Engr & _; CIA of the Roman Catholic Church. The term Obrasde Santa Engr&_; CIA became synonymous with Portugal's long-standing rotten-tailed buildings after nearly 200 years of construction interruption in history. In 1966, the church was transformed into a national ancestral shrine. Many presidents, writers and navigators in Portuguese history were buried here or set up monuments. But the most famous people who slept here were Amaria, Rodrigues (Am&_; Lia Rodrigues, 1920-1999). Flowers were often laid in front of the tomb.
Neither in size nor popularity is as good as the Pantheon in Paris, but the buildings are still very beautiful and magnificent. Likewise, Portugal places its national figures who have contributed to it here, in a serious atmosphere, to be admired.
The National Ancestral Hall, located in Lisbon, is a white Baroque style building with a long history and a huge dome as its symbol. It contains monuments of Portuguese celebrities of various historical periods.
