The original idea here was to create a mausoleum dedicated to famous figures from Spanish history. In the end the project ran out of steam and only the pantheon and tower were built, forming part of the Basilica de Atocha. Nevertheless, some heavyweight military, political and cultural historical figures are represented. There are 13 in total, including Prim, Rios Rosas, Canovas del Castillo, Arguelles and Mendizabal. Valencian sculptor Benlliure contributed some interesting pieces. Admission is free.
