The Panteón de los Próceres (Spanish for Heroes' Pantheon) is a crypt inside the old Church of the Real Convictorio de San Carlos (Royal College of San Carlos) that holds the remains of the heroes of the Peruvian War of Independence.[1]
The Church originally belonged to the
Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos
. In 1924, the remains of various heroes of the wars of independence (1821-1824) were transferred to a crypt just under the altar and the Church was renamed "Panteón de los Proceres".
This "Panteón de los Proceres" should not be confused with the "Panteón de los Proceres" at the
Presbítero Maestro cemetery holds the remains of the heroes of the War of the Pacific
of 1879.
