About this cemetery

The Dissidents' Cemetery, also called the English Cemetery, is on Cerro Panteón in Valparaíso. Around 1800, immigrants who were not Catholic were refused burial in Catholic cemeteries and were buried on the cliffs of Playa Ancha hill or in a hillside fort. For about thirty years it was the only place in Chile where followers of other religions could be buried.
