Cementerio General de La Almudena

The Cementerio General de La Almudena is a cemetery in Santiago District, Cuzco, Peru.

[1] Currently, in addition to the cemetery, in this square are the Hogar Casa Acogida that cares for adolescent women victims of crimes of human trafficking, and the Health Hospital Mental San Juan Pablo II, both administered by the Charity of Cuzco [es].

The frontispiece of the cemetery also has windows and portals on both sides that overlook other rooms that served as a wake and morgue.

Among the mausoleums, the one that corresponds to the Mendivil family stands out, whose ornaments are representations of the wise men and musketeer angels in the typical form of Mendívil crafts, with elongated necks and tiny frames.

In the same sector is the Central Chapel of Santo Roma, which is a construction prior to the same cemetery and which is behind the Temple of the Almudena.

[5] Finally, also in the eastern sector, there is the exit to the cemetery that was formerly used by people with fewer resources and that, since 2001, was modified for the construction of modern mausoleums and new pavilions.
