Old San Juan - San Juan Cemetery

(Local Name: Cementerio de San Juan) An interesting and fascinating way to explore an area is to visit its most historic cemeteries and the San Juan Cemetery (Cementario de San Juan) is no exception to this rule. The San Juan Cemetery is noted for elaborate tombstones and a circular, red-domed neoclassical chapel dedicated to Mary Magdalene. The architecture of the chapel dates to the 19th C and many of the Puerto Rico's earliest colonists are buried in the cemetery.

Located high up on the cliffs above the Atlantic, the view from the Cementario de San Juan is quite stunning.
