About this cemetery
Trafalgar Cemetery is a burial ground in Gibraltar, formerly known as the Southport Ditch cemetery. It was consecrated in 1798 and used until 1814 for burials of those who died in Gibraltar. Despite its name, only two men buried there died as a result of the Battle of Trafalgar. It is maintained by the Gibraltar Heritage Trust, and each year the Royal Navy commemorates the battle at the cemetery. To learn more, visit gibraltarheritagetrust.org.gi.
