  On the outside it looks like a small chapel but actually is a monument to the heroes of Paraguay, is guarded by two guards that give more solemnity to the monument.

  This memorial to Paraguay's war dead opens up an interesting aspect of Paraguay's history, particularly the unfortunate outcome of some of the wars which the country has been involved in. The monument is well cared for and beautifully presented, with immaculately uniformed armed guards outside. It is also in a nice location, on the corner of a popular central square.

  No big deal really, just a room with coffins and some statues. I have kind of a hard time enjoying the memory of these men, after having read about Fransisco Solano Lopez torturing animals in his childhood, harsh treatment of non Spanish immigrants and of course involving Paraguay in the disastrous war of the triple alliance. Don't bite the hand that feeds you, don't worship the hand that is responsible for the death of 90% of your men.

  The ignominious war "heroes" in their caskets and urns are on display. Another site worth about five minutes.

  It is the national pantheon of the heroes, the tomb of the unknown soldier and also a small Chapel . Nice inside and beautiful outside especially at night.

  If you are coming from the states, you maybe in for a little disappointment when you visit historical sites such as el Panteon. It is a really cool place with lots of history, but when you are used to the Washington Monument, or the Statue of Liberty, the Panteon is a little, well, not the same. The other thing about Paraguay is that there a very few tour guides at any of the attractions if any, so if you were thinking you could spend at least a couple hours learning the history from somebody, you won't find anyone. But its just the culture of Paraguay and if you come with an open mind with no expectations you won't get disappointed, and if you do your learning about Paraguay before hand, the people here really respect someone who has study even just a little about Paraguay.

  From our favorit place to eat and drink, Lido, there is a view to this place just across the street. We saw the pretty young soldiers standing in there finest uniforms with antique rifles and wanted to see what was indoor. Inside you see a pantheon lookalike room with sculptures of importent men and in the midle of the room there is a crypt below with coffins covered with Paraguay flags. There is no explenation anywhere to what is is all about. Afterwards we have read that is a place to remember the heroes from Paraguays wars. It is free to go there and the place is cool, so go there.
