More than a century after Esa de Queiroz’s death, the writer’s remains will be “soon” transferred to the National Pantheon in Lisbon.
It should be recalled that in January 2021, the Assembly of the Republic had already unanimously approved a draft PS resolution on “granting the honors of the National Pantheon to the remains of José María Esa de Queiroz in recognition and tribute for the work of a unique and decisive literary work in the history of Portuguese literature”. The decision was made as a result of a challenge initiated by the Eça de Queiroz Foundation in accordance with the provisions of the law that defines and regulates the honors of the National Pantheon.
Esa de Queiroz died on August 16, 1900 and was buried in Lisbon. In September 1989, his remains were transferred from the Alto de São João cemetery in the capital to the family tomb in the Santa Cruz do Douro cemetery in Baiau.
