Panteón de los Próceres

The Heroes' Pantheon (Spanish: Panteón de los Próceres) is a crypt inside the old Church of San Carlos, located at the former Real Convictorio de San Carlos in the historic centre of Lima, that holds the remains of 24 of the national heroes of the Peruvian War of Independence.

The Church was rebuilt after the 1746 Lima–Callao earthquake leveled Lima, and in 1876 it became the Chapel of 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", a name which remains to date.
