Panteão Duque de Caxias, Military memorial museum in downtown Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The monument features a bronze equestrian statue of Duke of Caxias, made by Rodolfo Bernardelli and cast in Paris, standing atop the pantheon building.

The pantheon, inaugurated in 1949, contains the remains of Marshal Luis Alves de Lima e Silva and his wife Anna Luiza, transferred from Catumbi Cemetery.

The granite pedestal displays two bas-reliefs depicting military victories: the capture of Itororó Bridge and the army's entrance into Asunción during the Paraguayan War.

The memorial stands on Presidente Vargas Avenue, across from the Duke of Caxias Palace, offering visitors insights into Brazilian military history through exhibits and architecture.

Three thousand doves were released during the 1949 inauguration ceremony, with ten thousand attendees including military personnel, civilians, and students from military schools.
