DESCRIPTION
The old Panteón Español is one of the mythical places of the town, and it has a solemn and dramatic air that enhances its charm. It has a distinguished neoclassical façade, which is the entrance to the amazing tombs inside, most of them from the late 18th to the mid-20th century.
Its architectural style led to its name. It was built by Ignacio Fletes, a wealthy local merchant, between 1823 and 1830, a period that was important for the mineral life of Sinaloa and the country.
Stone monuments, coats of arms,sculptures of mourning angels, and other expressions of funerary art decorate its interior.
