Mausoleo de Francisco Villa en Chihuahua, Mexican Revolution monument in downtown Chihuahua, Mexico

The Francisco Villa Mausoleum features pink quarry stone construction with neoclassical architecture and sculptural reliefs adorning its facade.

Built between 1914 and 1915 under the direction of stonemason Santos Vega, the mausoleum stands as a cenotaph since Villa's remains rest in Parral.

The mausoleum represents the enduring memory of Francisco Villa, a central figure in the Mexican Revolution who served as governor of Chihuahua.

Located in the former Pantheon of La Regla, now Revolution Park, the mausoleum remains accessible to visitors interested in revolutionary history.

The underground crypt and upper chapel form an architectural ensemble that survived the 1957 demolition of surrounding cemetery structures.
