Román Baldorioty de Castro National Pantheon
Román Baldorioty de Castro National Pantheon, National pantheon and cemetery museum in Ponce, Puerto Rico
The Román Baldorioty de Castro National Pantheon exhibits Neoclassical architecture with columns, pilasters, and mausoleums arranged along a central pathway leading to a chapel.
The site began as Cementerio Antiguo de Ponce in 1842 and transformed into Puerto Rico's first national pantheon in 1991, receiving official museum status.
The pantheon houses the remains of influential Puerto Ricans, including independence advocate Román Baldorioty de Castro and musician Juan Morel Campos.
