Lonely Planet review for Basílica da Estrela

The curvaceous, sugar-white dome and twin belfries of Basílica da Estrela are visible from afar. The neoclassical beauty was completed in 1790 by order of Dona Maria I (whose tomb is here) in gratitude for a male heir. The echoing interior is awash with pink and black marble, which creates a kaleidoscopic effect when you gaze up into the cupola. Climb the dome for far-reaching views over Lisbon.
