Cementerio de Santa María de Pazzis (9)

             The Santa Maria Magdalena de Pazzis Cemetery is a colonial- era cemetery which lies inside of Old San Juan. There you can find many of Puerto Rico’s prominent residents. Many politicians and artists are buried here. It lies outside the walls of Fort San Felipe del Morro. The cemetery was originally placed here because it overlooks the Atlantic Ocean, this symbolized the spirit’s journey to cross over to the afterlife.
