Pantheon of the Patriarchs of Lisbon

Pantheon of the Patriarchs of Lisbon, Royal burial site in Monastery of São Vicente de Fora, Portugal

The Pantheon of the Patriarchs contains stone tombs arranged in rows within a former chapter house of the Monastery of São Vicente de Fora.

The space transformed from a chapter house to a military document storage before becoming the final resting place for Lisbon's Cardinal-Patriarchs in 1954.

The pantheon preserves the memory of religious leaders who shaped Lisbon's Catholic community from the 18th through the 20th centuries.

Visitors can find the pantheon inside the monastery complex, where stone markers identify the Cardinal-Patriarchs interred in chronological sequence.

Cardinal D. Manuel Gonçalves Cerejeira, who led the church for 42 years during Portugal's Estado Novo period, rests among other religious leaders.
