Basilica of Our Lady of the Martyrs, Lisboa, Catholic basilica in Santa Maria Maior, Portugal.

The basilica features intricate Baroque architectural elements, with painted ceilings and altarpieces created by Pedro Alexandrino de Carvalho in the 18th century.

Following the reconquest of Lisbon from the Moors in 1147, the church was established at the site of a Crusaders' cemetery to honor fallen soldiers.

The current structure, designed by architect Reinaldo Manuel dos Santos, represents the religious architecture during the Pombaline reconstruction of Lisbon after 1755.

Located at Rua Serpa Pinto 10D in Lisbon, the basilica welcomes visitors from Monday through Friday between 9:00 and 19:00, and weekends from 10:00 to 19:30.

The basilica houses a substantial organ attributed to Machado e Cerveira and maintains its position as the first baptismal site in Lisbon after the Reconquest.
