Traveling Dominicana: Santo Domingo. Panteon de la Patria - A Visual Story (24 Photos)

in WORLD OF XPILAR3 years ago

Today we are going to visit National Pantheon of the Dominican Republic

Short information from WIKI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Pantheon_of_the_Dominican_Republic

QTE

Jesuits held mass here until 1767. After 1767, it was used as a tobacco warehouse and then as the first Dominican theater for purely artistic purposes by the society Amantes de las Letras in 1860 until 1878 when it became theater La Republicana which operated until 1917.[3] It housed governmental offices until 1956.

In 1956, Spanish architect Javier Borroso renovated the structure to serve its new purpose as a national mausoleum, by order of then dictator Rafael Trujillo. Originally, Trujillo envisioned being interred at the National Pantheon, yet today it is the place where the country's most famous persons are honored, among others Trujillo's assassins.
