The pantheon occupies the former refectory of São Vicente de Fora Monastery and was created by order of King Ferdinand II. Its present arrangement dates from 1933, when a statue of a mourning female figure representing the nation was placed beside the tombs of Carlos I and Luís Filipe, both killed in the Lisbon Regicide of 1 February 1908. The last Braganza monarch, Manuel II, was buried here after the republic was proclaimed on 5 October 1910.
The central aisle holds the tombs of Carlos I, his son Prince Luís Filipe, Manuel II, and Queen Amélie. Their placement together marks the final chapter of Portuguese royal history.
