Panteón de San Fernando

The San Fernando Pantheon (also known as Museo Panteón de San Fernando) is one of the oldest cemeteries in Mexico City that is preserved to this day.[1][2] It is one of the most representative examples of 19th century funerary architecture and art in Mexico, and it functioned between 1832 and 1872.[3] It is the final destination of the remains of several of the outstanding figures of 19th century Mexican history, and the most prominent are the remains of Presidents Benito Juárez , Miguel Miramón (later interred in the Puebla Cathedral) and General Ignacio Zaragoza, among many others.[4]
