Panteón de San Fernando

The San Fernando Pantheon 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 sent to the Puebla Cathedral) and General Ignacio Zaragoza, among many others.[4]
