Altar de la Patria, Marble mausoleum in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

The white marble structure houses statues carved by sculptor Nicholas Arrighini and maintains an eternal flame within the Independence Park complex.

The founding fathers' remains were moved from the Cathedral of Santo Domingo to La Puerta del Conde in 1943 before their final transfer in 1976.

The mausoleum preserves the remains of Juan Pablo Duarte, Francisco del Rosario Sánchez, and Ramón Matías Mella, who established the Dominican Republic.

The monument stands within Parque Independencia near Baluarte del Conde, making it central for visitors exploring Santo Domingo's historical district.

Three marble statues represent Los Trinitarios, with an eternal flame burning continuously to honor the memory of these national independence leaders.
