Anyone interested in architecture and history should pay a visit to the cemetery. We spent around 3 hours there. Is that morbid? An impressive place. Unfortunately, the outside areas are not really looked after and a lot is destroyed.

An exceptional, haunting place far from the maddening crowds - essential deserted, just you and the dead. Extraordinary mausoleums, if many under-maintained. At 200 pesos, the entrance fee is ludicrously low for the experience. Consider tipping the under-paid reception staff as compensation!

We were able to see the cemetery via a local taxi tour, this was one of our first stops. Only having to pay around 5 cuc per person it was a steal considering the massive walking grounds of the cemetery. We saw tombs and graves of all sizes and shapes, the history contained within the walls were extraordinary and I would love to have heard some of the stories. Be advised that the church is still used today, we happened to pass during a funeral, so keep that in mind and be respectful.

It is actually one of the most famous cemeteries in Old Havana. It houses 17 fireman that died in the fire of 1890. There's a few other historical folks that are buried at the same location including Cuban Legend Alberto Yarini. (Google him) They charge $100 CUP (¢.50 USD) for Non-Cubans to visitors

This cemetery is well worth a few hours tour. Local guides are available to tell stories of various tombs including one dedicated to firemen. Walk on your own as well. Quiet, tranquil and meditative.
