The National Pantheon is located in Lisbon, in Campo de Santa Clara, parish of São Vicente de Fora, occupying the building thought to be the church of Santa Engrácia, in the second half of the century 16, by decision of Infanta D.Maria

The original church was severely damaged by a strong storm in 1658 and thereafter underwent successive alterations only finishing its works as early as 1966. Such time interval of successive works led to their becoming known by the works of Saint Engracia.

An architectural treat to visit for all those who live in Lisbon or pass by. Schools will find excellent reasons for study visits: history, art and visual education, mathematics (the geometry of space) or even geography (the superb view of the city and the river).
