Panteón Nacional de los Héroes, Asuncion (must see)

Originally constructed as a chapel, Panteón Nacional de los Héroes finally opened in 1936 in commemoration of the Virgin, as well as the city of Mariscala and its army. Situated between Independencia Nacional and Coronel Bogado Streets, the Panteón initially resembled a Gothic chapel, although it later underwent major modifications. The Panteón is an architectural gem of great artistic, cultural and historic value. Here you can admire the monuments to Mariscal López and other national heroes. Be sure to head inside this iconic building to look at the magnificent altar and ceiling.
