Dominican National Pantheon, Neoclassical mausoleum in Colonial Zone, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

The National Pantheon features white limestone walls, high ceilings, and an eternal flame burning beneath a copper chandelier in its central chamber.

Built between 1714 and 1746 as a Jesuit church, the building later served as a tobacco warehouse and theater before becoming the national mausoleum in 1956.

The mausoleum contains the remains of Dominican Republic military leaders, politicians, and intellectuals who shaped the nation through different historical periods.

Located on Calle Las Damas, the National Pantheon welcomes visitors every day from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM without charging an entrance fee.

Spanish artist Rafael Pellicer created two large murals inside the pantheon depicting the Ascension to Heaven and The Last Judgment.
