Tancredo Neves Pantheon of the Fatherland and Freedom
February 11, 2024
The Tancredo Neves Pantheon of the Fatherland and Freedom (Portuguese: Panteão da Pátria e da Liberdade Tancredo Neves) 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 Tancredo Neves, the first elected civilian president after twenty years of military rule.
Tancredo Neves Pantheon of the Fatherland and Freedom
Unlike other national pantheons it is not a mausoleum and does not contain any tombs.
It is located in the Praça dos Três Poderes in Brasilia. It was designed by Oscar Niemeyer as a modernist building symbolizing a dove. It has three floors with a total area of 2,105 m2 (22,660 sq ft). The foundation stone was laid by French President François Mitterrand on 15 October 1985.
The exhibition area, entirely dedicated to Tancredo Neves, was reopened in 2013. It includes copies of documents, films by Silvio Tendler and interactive technologies.
The names of those honoured can be found in the Livro de Aço ('Book of Steel'), also called the Livro dos Heróis da Pátria ('Book of National Heroes'). This is housed on the third floor between the Painel da inconfidência, a sculpture in honour of the martyrs of eighteenth-century uprising in Minas Gerais and the stained glass by Marianne Peretti. Each time a new name and biography is entered into its metal pages a ceremony in memory of the honouree is celebrated.
The buildingedit
The Pantheon of Motherland and Freedom, Tancredo Neves in the Praça dos Tres Poderes in Brasilia was designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer in 1985.
Its foundation stone was laid by French President François Mitterrand on 15 October 1985 and the Pantheon was inaugurated on 7 September 1986.[1]
The Pantheon has three floors with a total area of 2,105 m2 (22,660 sq ft). Inside in the Red Hall is the Mural of Freedom by Athos Bulcão.
On the third floor is stained glass by Marianne Peretti, who also designed the glass for the Cathedral of Our Lady Aparecida in Brasilia.
On the outside, on top of a tower built on the diagonal, burns an eternal flame which represents the freedom of the people and the country's independence.
Unlike other pantheons there are no tombs of any of the honoured. Their names and biographies are contained in the Livro de Aço ('Book of Steel'). The current names are:
