san juan cemetery印象
-
Very nice view and seems like a vey mysterious place. A few hous to walk around and enjoy is enough.

This old and important cemetery is a must see for visitors to Old San Juan. It is situated on a hillside near the ruins of an old Fort, a spacious lawn and the awesome sea as a backdrop.Beautiful and bright...and not the least bit sombre. A place to celebrate life, memories and the elements of air, water and stone.

The mass amounts of marble carved with extreme detail! Some may think morbid but I thought it was peaceful and has a lot of history.

Never have I seen such a beautiful cemetery, words don't really do it justice. We had no idea this cemetery was here, we saw it from the fort at first and had to go and see it properly. It is truly beautiful.

This cemetery is beautiful, in a bit of a haunting way. I don't mean haunted, just that one can really feel the history there. The architecture is stunning and at contrast with the disrepair of some of the tombs. Very worth a visit.

You can't ask for a more beautiful setting for a cemetery. It is right next to El Morrow fort and by the Sea. You can walk down in there and check out the gravesites and great views of the fort and the sea

We walked and walked and were so taken by the beauty of this old cemetery. It was a beautiful day to see all the history in this cemetery.
-
This cemetery is near El Morro You should expect to spend about an hour or so to walk around this beautiful setting

The San Juan Cemetery was inaugurated in 1814. A path in front of the Quincentennial Plaza (Plaza Quintocentenario) leads down into the cemetery grounds. The small neoclassical portico that serves as an entrance imitates the facade of other parishes characteristic to the island. Named after Santa María Magdalena de Pazzis, a neoclassical chapel bearing her name was also built here around 1860. This circular red-domed chapel, inspired by Bramante’s Rotonda in Rome, stands out amongst the numerous graves. The picturesque burial grounds are adorned with exquisite Genevan marbles and sculptures. These enhance the final resting place of important political and literary figures such as: Harvard-educated social reformer, Pedro Albizu Campos, who fought against colonialism; José Celso Barbosa, known as the father of the “Statehood for Puerto Rico” movement; and renowned poet and patriot, José de Diego, among others.
