Panteón de los Héroes, Melilla, Military mausoleum in Purísima Concepción Cemetery, Melilla, Spain.
The Pantheon of Heroes contains five rows of niches totaling eighty spaces, with additional galleries inside the stone structure facing Mount Gurugu.
King Alfonso XIII placed the first stone on January 7, 1911, using funds from a national subscription to assist families affected by the Melilla War.
The memorial features a bronze statue of Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, holding symbols of honor and martyrdom atop the circular structure.
Visitors can access the mausoleum through an esplanade that includes the Monte Arruit Monument and a two-section staircase leading to an atrium.
The underground structure contains remains transferred from provisional cemeteries of the Spanish Protectorate in Morocco between 1929 and 1949.
