 Panteão nacional -

Dona Maria, King Manuel’s daughter, ordered the building of the first Church of Santa Engrácia, alongside Campo de Santa Clara. However, what remained of this 16th Century church was demolished in the 17th Century. In 1681, the plans produced by João Antunes were selected for the reconstruction project. The present Church of Santa Engrácia, one of the best examples of Baroque architecture, is built on an octogonal floor plan centred on a Greek cross with the rounded arms in the style of Bramante. After various additions and attempts at restoration, work was finally completed in 1966. Since then, the church has been used as the National Pantheon.

 Sé de lisboa

Visiting Lisbon Cathedral, the oldest and most important church in the Portuguese capital, means delving into 800 years of history. From the high choir to the chancel, from the central nave to the ambulatory with its radiating chapels, including the Chapel of Bartolomeu Joanes and the Patriarch's dressing room, plus the Treasury Museum and the balcony with its magnificent view of the city and the river, it's worth exploring every nook and cranny of this building of true historical, architectural, religious and spiritual importance. Saint Anthony was baptised in this church, where he studied and was part of the choir. The Cathedral also houses the reliquary vaults containing the relics of the martyr Saint Vincent, patron saint of Lisbon. The Patriarchal Monstrance on display in the Treasury Museum is one of the most splendid examples to be found anywhere in the world and was possibly the most remarkable liturgical object to be made in eighteenth century Portugal.

Museu do azulejo.

The Museu Nacional do Azulejo (National Tile Museum) is situated in the eastern part of Lisbon, housed in the former Convent of Madre de Deus, which was founded in 1509 by Queen Leonor de Lencastre, wife of King João II. Of particular interest inside the building are the 16th Century cloister, the vestry, the upper choir and St. Anthony’s chapel. The collection as a whole traces out tile development from the 2nd half of the 15th Century to the present day. The exhibition starts with a piece explaining the different ways in which tiles are made. The rest of the exhibition is organised chronologically

Belem; TOWER, 

Designed by Francisco da Arruda and built between 1514 and 1520, the tower known as Torre de São Vicente de Belém was a key element of the defensive complex at the mouth of the Tagus. Its shape still recalls the traditional keeps of medieval castles. This singular Manueline building also reflects the changes made necessary by advances in artillery. Some of its structural aspects are similar to the modern Italian-style fortress. The monument is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

PASTEIS DE NATA, 

JERONIMOS MONASTERY,

Construction of the Jerónimos Monastery began in 1501, on the orders of King Manuel I. Chosen as the royal pantheon and financed by the fabulous wealth brought back from India, this monumental construction is a brilliant synthesis of European late-Gothic and early renaissance trends. It is also of unquestionable technical mastery, especially the elegant and bold ribbed dome that covers the entire church. Jerónimos Monastery is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

 padrão dos descobrimentos.

The Monument to the Discoveries (Padrão dos Descobrimentos) was built in 1960 and stands out along the riverside landscape in Belém thanks to its caravel-like shape and its set of sculptures, at the front of which stands the figure of Prince Henry the Navigator, the great driver of Portuguese expansion. At the top of this monument stands a viewing point, from where one can enjoy the fabulous panoramic view of the city and river. The square from where you access the monument is decorated with a compass rose containing a planisphere on which the main routes of the Portuguese maritime discoveries can be seen.

Palacio Nacional da Ajuda.

Built to replace the “Real Barraca”, a wooden construction, the Palácio Nacional da Ajuda was home for over 20 years to King José I and his court, following the earthquake of 1755. The original plans were by Manuel Caetano de Sousa but, in 1802, new plans, by Francisco Xavier Fabri and José da Costa e Silva, introduced neoclassical features. Construction of the palace was halted between 1809 and 1813, because of the French invasions. Work came to a definitive end in 1833, due to political, economic and financial issues. In the reign of King Luís I, important interior rebuilding took place under the technical supervision of the architect Joaquim Possidónio Narciso da Silva.

The palace was built in the 19th Century on the orders of Ferdinand von Coburg Gotha (King Fernando II), who was married to Queen Maria II, on the site of a small convent. Influenced by the romantic and eclectic inclinations of the time, King Fernando II chose to build a revivalist palace which would include artistic styles from antiquity through to the Renaissance, the art of the East, Arab-style domes, minarets and Manueline motifs. All that remain of the original building are the cloisters and the chapel, with its Renaissance altarpiece carved in alabaster and black marble by Nicolau Chanterenne. The last king of Portugal Manuel II, took refuge here before his fnal departure into exile when the country became a Republic.

Quinta da regaleira,

Quinta da Regaleira, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is one of the most remarkable monuments of Sintra’s Cultural Landscape. The much loved summer residence of the millionaire and philanthropist António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro was built from 1898 to 1912 1n a predominantly neoManueline style conceived by the ltalian architect and cenographer Luigi Manini. The estate, imbued with symbolism and an intense poetic aura, includes na exuberante garden, the main house, a chapel, mews and an underground complex irradiating from the 27 meter deep Initiatic Well, the truly iconic image of the Regaleira Estate.

Palácio Nacional de Sintra

Built on top of a former Moslem royal residence, Sintra Town Palace was inhabited by the Portuguese royal family until the 20th Century. The building, resulting from the successive and unplanned juxtapositioning of the numerous extensions, greatly benefited from the involvement of King Dinis, and later King Manuel. It was the latter who ordered the building of the east wing, enhanced by the characteristic detailing of the frames of the enormous windows overlooking the town. Famous throughout the world for its conical kitchen chimneys, the palace still retains the most important collection of 15th and 16th Century Hispano-Moorish tiles to be found in Portugal.

 Monserrate,

Monserrate, formerly a country estate, has existed in its current form since the end of the 18th Century, when Gerard DeVisme rented the estate from the Mello e Castro family. Since then, all those who have followed have worked hard to create the truly unique botanical gardens that we see today.

 castelo dos mouros.

The castle, which is probably of 9th Century Moorish origin, has never been the site of a battle. Despite the castle’s apparent invulnerability, both Moslem and Christian inhabitants surrendered following the conquest of Lisbon.
