1861, Queen Isabella II of Spain formally requested Liniers's body from the Argentine Government. The remains were brought back to Spain and solemnly buried in the Panteón de Marinos Ilustres of the island of San Fernando, Cádiz. At this time, Liniers's descendants received the hereditary title of "Conde de la Lealtad" (Count of Loyalty). His house at Alta Gracia was abandoned after his death, and bought in 1820 by José Manuel Solares. His family kept it for a long time, until it was expropriated in 1969 and turned into a museum in 1977. It was declared a heritage of humanity by UNESCO on December 2, 2000. One of the best-known portraits of Liniers is La Reconquista de Buenos Aires, by Charles Fouqueray. El último virrey, a novel by Horacio Salduna, is based on Liniers' life.
