The National Pantheon, located at the grounds of the Feira da Ladra, is also known by it's original name, Igreja de Santa Engracia, Santa Engracia Chuch. This church took centuries to be completed, and in Portuguese, when something takes very long to be acomplished, we usually say that it is like "the works at Santa Engracia".
There is now an exhibition being held at the Pantheon, dedicated to the 400 years of church, which seems to have been under construction all this time :-) A visit to the church itself is worth it (quite a nice view from the terraces!), and the exhibition is also nice, showing how it has evolved.
Enjoy :-)
