In this video it is day 2 in Lisbon Portugal and we visited the National Pantheon and the oldest Flea Market in Lisbon Portugal.
National Pantheon
In 1916, during the First Portuguese Republic, the Church of Santa Engrácia was converted into a National Pantheon. It was completed only in 1966, during the government of the Dictator António de Oliveira Salazar. There was much speculation that it was completed for the eventual death of Salazar and other high ranking Estado Novo officials, but this was proven false when he died in 1970 and his wishes were revealed to be buried in his hometown of Vimieiro near Santa Comba Dão, which was carried out. Besides Oscar Carmona, no other Estado Novo officials were entombed there.
The personalities entombed here include the Presidents of the Republic Manuel de Arriaga, Teófilo Braga, Sidónio Pais and Óscar Carmona, Presidential candidate Humberto Delgado, writers João de Deus, Almeida Garrett, Guerra Junqueiro, Aquilino Ribeiro and Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen, fado singer Amália Rodrigues, and footballer Eusébio. There are cenotaphs to Luís de Camões, Pedro Álvares Cabral, Afonso de Albuquerque, Nuno Álvares Pereira, Vasco da Gama, Henry the Navigator and Aristides de Sousa Mendes.
Feira Da Ladra
Held on Tuesdays and Saturdays nearby the beautiful Botto Machado garden, this small yet eventful street market owes its name (thieves market) to its inglorious past. This spot was mainly dedicated to trading stolen items in its early days. Nonetheless, the market has been a Lisbon staple since the Middle Ages—making it the oldest one in Portugal. And it’s still going strong. Here you will find all sorts of crafts, furniture, rare finds, old records, and memorabilia. Whether you are actively looking to buy or are just down for its experience, the Feira Da La Ladra is worth visiting.
