The National Pantheon of the Heroes stands as Paraguay's foremost tribute to its national heroes, including military leaders and statesmen. Visitors approach the neoclassical building flanked by statues, entering a marble interior where the remains of figures like Carlos Antonio López and the Unknown Soldier are interred. The eternal flame and changing of the guard add to the reverent atmosphere. The structure's dome and surrounding plaza make it a focal point in downtown Asunción.
Don't miss
- Observe the ceremonial changing of the guard outside the main entrance.
- View the marble sarcophagi and the central crypt honoring the Unknown Soldier.
- Admire the neoclassical architecture and the bronze statues of historical figures on the plaza.
