Necropolis de San Carlos Borromeo also known as Cementerio de San Carlos or San Carlos Cemetery is located in Matanzas, Cuba.[1] It was inaugurated on September 2, 1872 on 13.5 hectares.[2] It is the third most important Cemetery of Cuba in terms of patrimonial value, as much for its architecture, as for the personalities interred. Its main architect was Francisco Sosa Vélez, who used Carrara marble, bronze and cast iron for the construction.
The San Carlos Cemetery came to solve the problem Matanzas had with the big number of cemeteries in the area, a figure higher than that of any other Cuban location.
