About this cemetery
Cementerio El Ángel stands on Jirón Áncash in Barrios Altos, between the districts of Lima and El Agustino. President Manuel Prado Ugarteche inaugurated it on 27 June 1959 because the Presbítero Matías Maestro cemetery was nearly full. It occupies about 29 hectares and belongs to the Beneficencia de Lima.
