THE BEAUTY OF

Known for being the oldest cemetery in Manila, The Campo Santo De La Loma or better known as The La Loma Cemetery, is one of the few sites that escaped ruin during World War II in the 1945 Battle of Manila where most of the city’s collection of architecture was destroyed. That leaves the cemetery as a crucial piece of the country’s historical heritage of architecture.

The cemetery was once named as Cementerio de Binondo or Binondo Cemetery for english, as the area was then under the sovereignty of Santa Cruz during the Spanish Colonial Period. History tells that filipino rebels were warned by the spaniards. So much so that if they choose to join the revolution against spain, the filipino rebels cannot be buried in Catholic cemeteries such as the La Loma and in result, denied of what then was considered a “decent” burial in their time of death.

It was built in 1884 and remains one of the most beautiful and oldest cemeteries in the Philippines. Countless intricately designed and unique mausoleums, tombs and structures are spread everywhere within the cemetery, which is definitely worth your visit.
