National Pantheon
The Church of Santa Engrácia, a breathtaking 17th-century Baroque masterpiece nestled in Lisbon's charming Alfama district, is affectionately known today as the National Pantheon of Portugal. Originally built as a church dedicated to Saint Engrácia, its construction began in 1681 and was only completed in 1966 — a testament to Portugal’s long-standing history of ambitious, though often delayed, projects. Designed by the talented architect João Antunes, the church boasts a distinctive Greek cross layout, graceful undulating façades, and a magnificent dome that was added in the 20th century. Since 1916, it has been the final resting place for many of Portugal’s most cherished figures, including presidents, writers, the legendary footballer Eusébio, and the beloved fado singer Amália Rodrigues. It’s a true cultural gem that beautifully reflects the nation’s rich history and vibrant identity.

Museu do Fado
The Fado Museum (Museu do Fado) in Lisbon’s charming Alfama neighborhood is a warm and inviting space that celebrates the soulful Portuguese music style known as Fado. Since opening its doors on September 25, 1998, the museum is beautifully housed in a restored 19th-century building that used to be a pumping station for the city’s water supply, giving it a special historic character. Visitors can enjoy a fascinating journey through Fado’s rich cultural history, exploring artworks, historic objects, sheet music, videos, and stories of some of the most famous Fado singers. Highlights include paintings by José Malhoa and Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro. After a thoughtful renovation in 2008, the museum now offers friendly multilingual audio guides and features an extensive digital sound archive with early 20th-century Fado recordings. Plus, the museum runs a record label, Museu do Fado Discos, which helps keep this beautiful Portuguese musical tradition alive and thriving.

Chafariz D'El Rei
Chafariz d’El-Rey, also known as The King's Fountain, is a captivating 16th-century oil painting created by an anonymous Flemish artist. It now hangs at the beautiful Pálacio da Bacalhôa in Azeitão, Portugal. Painted roughly between 1570 and 1580, this artwork beautifully captures a lively scene in front of Lisbon’s historic fountain during the proud days of the Portuguese Empire. You can see a fascinating mix of trade goods from Japan, Goa, and Africa, along with African slaves and free Africans, Portuguese Jewish constables, and even an African knight connected to the Military Order of Saint James of the Sword. The scene is bustling with daily life—boatmen, vendors, jugglers—showing the vibrant, multicultural spirit of Renaissance Lisbon. Considered an early example of globalization, this painting offers a wonderful glimpse into the rich cultural interactions and diversity of that era.

Arco da Rua Augusta
The Rua Augusta Arch (Portuguese: Arco da Rua Augusta) is a beautiful stone triumphal arch nestled in Lisbon’s lively Praça do Comércio, Portugal.

The arch is grand, featuring six large columns and charming statues of important Portuguese figures, including Nuno Álvares Pereira, Marquis of Pombal, Vasco da Gama, and Viriatus. At the very top, a stunning sculpture by French artist Célestin Anatole Calmels celebrates Glory rewarding Valor and Genius.
