Description: The book "explains the history of that monument from the time it was founded until today. Likewise, it presents an overview of the burial places existing in Mexico City in the viceregal period and shows the first pantheons that, following the model cemetery designed by Manuel Tolsá in some way, will be able to learn about the funeral customs that existed in that century. and they continued in the first years of the XIX. In the catalog some names of the personalities that lie there are revealed, among which are the Benemérito de las Américas, Benito Juárez, whose burial mound is widely known. Others have been taken to different places and their cenotaphs or niches are preserved, such as the Vicente Guerrero monument. There are many characters whose identities are unknown; However, they are all important and are part of the history of Mexico in the 19th century. In summary, this book was written mainly with an urban-architectural approach, but it does not mean that it is not interesting; Furthermore, it contributes to other fields of culture and knowledge, such as art and, above all, to the history of our city and of our country in the ancestor century."
