Cemetery of Distinguished Citizens

This place contains the mausoleum of the president of the Federal Republic of Central America, Francisco Morazán, whose remains had been transferred from Costa Rica.

[1] The name of the area was changed to “Pantheon of Great Men” in 1913, after the burial of the president Manuel Enrique Araujo, but over time it ended up being known as “The Distinguished Citizens”.

[3] The cemetery houses various white marble sculptures and mausoleums of artistic value that keep the remains of members of wealthy families in San Salvador.

[5] Various angel figures are found in different poses; religious scenes such as The Pietà; some of the monumental size and others with peculiar characteristics denote the status of the family or the life history of the deceased.

Among them it is worth mentioning the figure of Luperca breastfeeding Romulo and Remus in the mausoleum of the Assistenza Italiana (popularly called "The She-Wolf").
