Cementerio de Colón — Havana's City of the Dead

The Cementerio de Cristóbal Colón (the 'Christopher Columbus Cemetery' — the vast neoclassical cemetery in the Vedado district of Havana, covering 57 hectares (141 acres) with over 800,000 burial sites) is one of the most remarkable necropoli in the Americas — a city of the dead with the most extraordinary collection of funerary architecture in the Caribbean, from neoclassical mausoleums to Art Deco tombs to modernist memorials.
