Rotunda of Illustrious People

No, we are not morbid!  It has been said that you can judge a nation by the way it treats its heroes.  That is why we offer this tour in our repertoire – to show you the beauty, respect and artistic innovation with which Mexico honors its deceased.

The Rotunda of Illustrious People actually looks more like a sculpture garden than a cemetery!  Here Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, David Alfaro Siqueiros, Amado Nervo and hundreds of important Mexican artists, military heroes, scientists, composers, politicians and Nobel Prize Winners are laid to rest, their gravestones reflecting their personalities with elaborate funeral sculptures!  Join us for an unusual morning out.  You won’t forget this tour!
