About this cemetery
The Cementerio General del Sur is the largest cemetery in Caracas and was the first single cemetery for the city. It was created on 5 July 1876 by decree of President Antonio Guzmán Blanco on land that had belonged to the former Tierra de Jugo hacienda. A rehabilitation of the cemetery was reported as delivered in March 2026.
