The Panteão Nacional is a Baroque masterpiece of white marble and polychrome stone, originally the Church of Santa Engrácia. Now Portugal's National Pantheon, it houses the tombs of navigators, presidents, and Fado legend Amália Rodrigues.
Construction began in 1681 but took so long that "obras de Santa Engrácia" became a Portuguese idiom for a project that never finishes. The dome wasn't completed until 1966.
