Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele presided over the relocation of the remains of Francisco Morazán, the former president of the Federal Republic of Central America, to a new mausoleum in San Salvador. The remains were moved from the Los Ilustres Cemetery to the Jardín Centroamérica, situated adjacent to the National Palace in the city’s historic center.

The relocation is linked to broader urban renewal projects in the historic district. The new site features a historic facade from the former Casa Dueñas, an eclectic neo-Renaissance property. While the event included military honors and drew regional attention regarding Morazán’s legacy of Central American integration, some observers have noted the move may serve political purposes alongside its role in reclaiming historical memory.
