A white dome rising over the Alfama rooftops, now a national mausoleum for Portugal's great names. It took 284 years to finish, and Portuguese still use its name for any job that never ends. Inside, a tall round hall opens over a floor of alternating white and grey stone. A stair leads up to the terrace ringing the dome, with Alfama's roofs, the Tagus and the tram 28 line below.
