Tancredo Neves Pantheon of the Fatherland and Freedom
The Tancredo Neves Pantheon of the Fatherland and Freedom is a cenotaph in the Brazilian capital Brasília, dedicated to the honour of national heroes. It was conceived during the national shock following the death in 1985 of president-elect Tancredo Neves, the first elected civilian president after twenty years of military rule. Unlike other national pantheons it is not a mausoleum and does not contain any tombs.
