Panteão Nacional

Enjoy one of the best views of Lisbon from the Panteão Nacional.

If you like history, go and see one of the most beautiful buildings in the capital. The National Pantheon took no more nor less than 280 years to be built. It was completed in the 16th century with a religious purpose.

But it was not until 1916 that it was declared the National Pantheon, where the burials of different presidents of Portugal would later take place. In addition, it stands out for the beautiful views offered by the terrace where, if you want, you can have a drink while watching beautiful views of the city and the Tagus River.

In theCentral Nave you will find a great innovative design in which the wavy walls and the great use of marble of different colors stand out for its decor. In addition, it has the great dome that rises to 80 meters high. On the other hand, you will be able to see in the corners of the pantheon the tumular rooms in which some of the presidents of Portugal are located.

Another area of note in the Pantheon is the High Choir; thanks to its amphitheater shape, it allows you to have a view of the entire central nave and its domes. In addition, it is currently where religious songs are performed.

And finally, in the Interpretation Center there are elements recovered from the old church, such as metalwork. In addition, we have a unique set of plaster models to complete the Works of Santa Engrácia.

Don't miss this great visit and get a pleasant surprise!
