Review & FAQ:
Originally a church, the Church of Santa Engracia , or Igreja de Santa Engrácia, was built in the 17th century. In 1916, it was converted to a national pantheon where important Portuguese personalities have been buried.
Visitors can visit the burial sites of Presidents of the Republic such as Teófilo Braga, Óscar Carmona, and Manuel de Arriaga and writers such as Aquilino Ribeiro and João de Deus. Architecture aficionados will love the ingenious design of the church with its stunning baroque portal at the entrance and its high dome that wasn’t completed until the 20th century. A unique feature visitors should look out for is the 18th-century baroque organ brought from Lisbon Cathedral.
