About this cemetery

The Civil Cemetery of Madrid dates from 1883. In 1877 the city council, led by José Abascal, had called a competition for the construction of a large cemetery. Burial there was originally a statement of intent by the deceased and their family, and conservative and Catholic sectors of Spanish society looked on it with disapproval. It holds the graves of Jews, Freemasons, agnostics and people of many other beliefs, and lies in the Carabanchel district next to the Almudena and Jewish cemeteries.
