Amazing! One of the few places in Lisbon that there was no queue. Included entry on Lisbon Card and amazing views out over the Tagus and the city. The view inside down to the floor from the gallery was a tad scary but beautiful. Totally recommend

I arrived at this place by pure luck. I love walking around the cities I visit to discover things by myself. And while walking around beautiful Lisbon I bumped into this magnificent building. I went in and they asked me if I wanted to visit inside. .. Read more »The building reminded me of the Pantheon in Paris which I love so I decided to buy the ticket and come inside. The first thing that caught my eye was a photographic exhibition of people of determination ( or Special Needs people as they're called in Europe). I was touched by the images and the content.. After I walked around in the ground floor and saw some of the tombs of Presidents and famous Portuguese Writers and Explorers I decided to go up the stairs. I ended up in the most fantastic Miradour in the whole of Lisbonne. 360 degrees of sheer beauty. The whole of the city right under your eyes. I was so happy to be there I sat down facing the glorious morning sun and stayed there for 2 hours. There was hardly anyone there The next day I brought my son along and he was delighted with the place and took beautiful photos. We both absolutely loved this place. Worth a visit a 100%.. I would go back there any time.

It is the resting place of many important historical Portuguese figures with tombs and cenotaphs that you can see in the ground floor corner rooms.
You can also walk up several series of staircases that take you to higher levels of the Pantheon, where you have elevated views of the nave area down below. Walk all the way to the top and you can enter the rooftop area where you also have remarkable views of the surrounding Alfama neighbourhood and Tagus River. Views are very impressive here when sky conditions are favourable.
