National Pantheon of the Heroes

The National Pantheon of the Heroes (Spanish: Panteón Nacional de los Héroes) is a building and landmark of Asunción, Paraguay, and a national monument of Paraguay. It is customary in Asuncion that when something historic happens (such as the victory of President Lugo in the 2008 elections) people flock with their flags to the street in front of it and celebrate the event.

The ceremonial changing of the guard is held several times a day.
