Church of Santa Engracia

#celebratewithtrip 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.
