Step inside Lisbon's National Pantheon, the white-domed baroque church that now honours the nation's heroes. Wander among the tombs, then climb to the terraces for a panoramic look over the rooftops and the river.
Full description
Begun as a church in the 17th century and long left unfinished, the National Pantheon was later converted into a mausoleum for national celebrities, its white dome now a fixture of Lisbon's skyline. Inside, visitors see the tombs and memorials of figures from Portuguese history, including Vasco da Gama's tomb, as reviewers note.
A staircase leads up to terraces with panoramic views over the city and river. Visits are short and uncrowded according to recent visitors, making it an easy add-on to a walk through the surrounding neighbourhood.
It is closed on Mondays.
