About this cemetery
In 1915 a group of Catholics in Barranquilla formed a board, authorized by Archbishop Pedro Adán Brioschi of Cartagena and Father Carlos Valiente, to build a cemetery of their own. This became the Calancala Catholic Cemetery. It is administered by the Archdiocese of Barranquilla. For enquiries, ring +57 313 8100433.
