The Igreja de Santa Engrácia or the National Pantheon is a 17th century church, Lisbon, Portugal.
The Igreja de Santa Engrácia or the National Pantheon is a 17th century church converted in the 20th century to hold the tombs of various famous Portuguese figures. The original church was founded in the latter half of the 16th century but was later completely reconstructed at the end of the 17th century by architect João Antunes (1642-1712), famous for his Baroque designs. The church was never actually used as a place of worship as it remain unfinished after the architect's death. The building is noted for its large dome which is a popular landmark on the Lisbon skyline overlooking the historic centre of Lisbon and the Tagus River.
