Panteón de Galegos Ilustres, Memorial pantheon at Convent of San Domingos de Bonaval, Santiago de Compostela, Spain.
The Panteón de Galegos Ilustres occupies a dedicated space within the Gothic church of the former Dominican convent, featuring ornate stone architecture and vaulted ceilings.
Founded in the thirteenth century by Saint Dominic de Guzman, the convent underwent substantial renovations during the late 1600s under architect Domingo de Andrade's direction.
The memorial contains the remains of influential Galician figures, including poet Rosalía de Castro and political leader Alfonso Daniel Rodríguez Castelao.
Visitors can access the pantheon through the Museo do Pobo Galego, which operates from Tuesday to Saturday between 10:30 and 14:00, and 16:00 to 19:30.
The convent features an extraordinary triple spiral staircase, designed by Domingo de Andrade, which leads to different sections of the building complex.
