What a beautiful place. Mesmerizing architecture and most importantly full of history. Salome Ureña and her husband, pedro Santana, and many other important figures of the Dominican Republic history rest in this museum. The flame is eternally on and it uses coconut oil. The architecture incorporates french, Arabic, Spanish and local touches. The ceiling painting is beautiful with the day of the judgement on the right side and eternal life on the left side. Flags of the armed forces are also displayed including Dominican Army, DR Navy, national police, and other institutions of order. There still some available spaces for tge future heroes of Dominican Republic The entrance is free of cost. There are some local guides who can provide detailed information about museum and visitors can provide a tip of 5 dollars or less if the prefer. I...

Beautiful place to visit in about 10 minutes or so. It’s “FREE”, but there are guides who will say to you at the entrance “It’s free and I can give you a tour and at the end you can give me whatever your heart thinks is right” The tour was about 2 minutes and the guide at the end said “people give me $5-$10.” We were surprised because he was kind of pushy and the tour was extremely short.

Ubicado en la Zona Colonial de la ciudad de Santo Domingo, en la República Dominicana, se trata de la antigua iglesia de la Compañía de Jesús cuyo edificio acabó de de levantarse a finales del siglo XVIII, concretamente en el año 1793.
El interior del también conocido como Panteón de la Patria se compone por una nave central con planta de cruz y capillas en los laterales. Desde su inauguración se ha ido destinando a distintas funciones a lo largo del tiempo: teatro, almacén de tabaco o incluso sede de oficinas públicas. Debido a su mal estado de conservación, la construcción fue restaurada en 1955 y destinada desde entonces a mausoleo, acogiendo los memoriales en honor de distintos patriotas y héroes del país. Entre ellos se pueden contemplar el memorial al general Santana, primer presidente de la República; y la sobrina de Francisco del Rosario Sánchez, María Trinidad Sánchez, considerada heroína popular fusilada junto a su tío por mandato del general Santana.
En tu recorrido por su interior puedes observar que su estructura es muy sobria, acorde a la función que cumple el espacio, decorada con una pintura moderna situada en la cúpula, y un candelabro de bronce que pende del centro de la capilla, regalo del dictador español Francisco Franco. Además podrás disfrutar no solo del panteón, sino de los edificios históricos...
