Good morning, @helcim. I will gladly try to give you some information, as requested. The Pantheon of Illustrious Men, is a building in Madrid, next to the Basilica of Our Lady of Atocha, in which, and if, as I see you are an art historian, you may be interested to know that a carving of a Black Virgin is really preserved interesting that is also called Virgen de Atocha. The Pantheon, to which the photographs in my post belong, is a Neo-Byzantine style building (like the Basilica) - the Neo-Gothic and the Neo-Romanesque, were styles that became moa in Spain again, during the late nineteenth and early nineteenth centuries. of the 20th century, undoubtedly encouraged by that retrospective look made fashionable in France by Violet-le Duc, the restorer of the Notre-Dame cathedral- designed by the architect Fernando Arbós y Tremanti, whose project, apparently, was based on the cemetery of the Piazza del Duomo, Pisa. Inside, and to them correspond the various graves that are shown in the photographs, lie the remains of illustrious politicians from the troubled neoliberal period, many of whom were assassinated by anarchists on either side (conservative or liberal). Several of the graves were made by Mariano Benlliure and the complex was declared a Site of Cultural Interest in December 1992. If you need any other clarification, I am at your disposal. An affectionate greeting
