3 Panteão Nacional Igreja de Santa Engrácia PRESENTATION Standing proudly overlooking Lisbon s historical area and the River Tagus, the National Pantheon is one of the city s great landmarks. The construction of the present-day building, originally intended to be a church dedicated to St. Encratis, began in 1682, but the works were only completed in the mid-20th century, even though the original baroque project still continued to be adhered to. Since 1916, the pantheon has housed the remains of some of the major figures in Portuguese history.
