The National Pantheon of the Dominican Republic, located in Santo Domingo, is a significant historical monument and mausoleum that honors the country's most esteemed figures. Originally built between 1714 and 1746 as a Jesuit church, the structure was later repurposed to serve as the final resting place for notable Dominicans, including heroes of the nation's independence and other influential personalities. The building showcases neoclassical architecture and features an impressive interior adorned with marble and a beautifully crafted dome.
