The National Pantheon of Portugal is located near Alfama, in Lisbon, specifically in the Church of Santa Engracia. The original church that was located here was destroyed in 1681 due to a storm. Construction of the new church was started in 1682 and was not completed until 284 years later, giving rise to the popular expression "works of Santa Engracia" - referring to something that never ends. Since 1916 it has been the National Pantheon, housing the tombs of some of the country's most notable citizens.
