The Pantheon of the Duchess of Sevillano, located in Guadalajara, Spain, is a stunning example of eclectic funerary architecture commissioned by María Diega Desmaissières y Sevillano, the Countess of Vega del Pozo, in 1887. This mausoleum features a unique Greek cross floor plan and is constructed from Novelda stone, topped with a striking dome adorned with purple tiles. Inside, visitors can admire a high altar painting by Alejandro Ferrant and intricate bronze and marble sculptures by Ángel García Díaz, including four angels that guard the sarcophagus in the crypt. Completed in 1916, the year of the Countess's death, this architectural gem reflects her dedication to cultural patronage and is a must-visit for those interested in history and art.
