The National Pantheon of the Heroes (Spanish: Panteón Nacional de los Héroes), whose full name National Pantheon of Heroes and Oratory of the Virgin of the Assumption (Spanish: Panteón Nacional de los Héroes y Oratorio de la Virgen de la Asunción) is a building and landmark of Asunción, Paraguay, and a national monument of Paraguay. Located between Palma and Chile streets in the downtown area of the Paraguayan capital, it is considered of great architectural, artistic and cultural heritage. In October 1863, the then president Francisco Solano López ordered the construction of a chapel to the Assumption of Mary, which was designed by Italian architect Alejandro Ravizza, in collaboration with the builder Giacomo Colombino. Following the War of the Triple Alliance, the building remained unfinished, surrounded by scaffolding for over 70 years.
