Altar de la Patria, Marble mausoleum in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
Altar de la Patria is a marble structure in Independence Park marked by an eternal flame. The building contains sculptures and serves as the central monument within the historical district complex.
The monument was established in 1976 and houses remains of three individuals who played roles in founding the Dominican state. Their remains were previously kept at other locations before being placed permanently at the current site.
The monument preserves the memory of three key figures in Dominican independence and serves as a place where citizens honor the founders of their nation. It embodies national identity through the presence of these historical figures at a visible, public location.
The monument is located in the center of the historical district and is easily reached on foot. The plaza surrounding the structure offers space to view it from different angles and explore the surrounding area.
An eternal flame burns continuously within the monument and symbolizes the ongoing memory of the three founding figures. This flame is a living element of the structure that reminds visitors the commemoration remains active today.
