Pantheon of the Duchess of Sevillano and its collection

Pantheon of the Duchess of Sevillano
Source

The Pantheon of the Countess of Vega del Pozo and Duchess of Sevillano is a significant monument in the Spanish city of Guadalajara. It was constructed between the years 1882 and 1916. This historical monument was commissioned by Doña María Diega Desmaissières y Sevillano, the Countess of Vega del Pozo and Duchess of Sevillano, in honor of her father and deceased family members who are buried there.

Unique Architectural Style of the Pantheon

The Pantheon is of an eclectic historicist style, a mix of several architectural styles. This includes the neo-Romanesque-Lombard style of its facades, the interior decoration based on Byzantine mosaics, and the Mudejar decoration of its internal capitals. This blend of styles gives the Pantheon a unique and captivating aesthetic.

Interior Design and Artwork of the Pantheon

The Pantheon, designed in a Greek cross plan, is divided into two floors. The upper floor is dedicated to worship and features a prominent painting on wood of a crucified Christ. The lower floor, or false crypt, houses a central sepulchral monument where the duchess is buried. This monument, composed of two bodies, is the work of the modernist sculptor Ángel García Díaz. The niches around the monument contain the remains of the duchess's closest relatives.
