Wikipedia: The Estrela Basilica is a basilica in Lisbon, Portugal, built by order of Queen Mary I of Portugal, as a fulfilled promise for giving birth to a son. Construction started in 1779 and the basilica was finished in 1790, after the death of José caused by smallpox in 1788. The huge church has a giant dome, and is located in a hill in what was at the time the western part of Lisbon and can be viewed from far away.
