As one of the oldest cemeteries in Manila, Campo Santo De La Loma, commonly referred to as the La Loma Cemetery, is one of the few places that are well known for its preserved intricately designed mausoleums, tombs, and structures. Although most of the city was destroyed in the course of the wars of Manila, the structures of the cemetery remain intact. As a result, the cemetery is considered to be an important historical monument.
This cemetery was built in 1884 and is considered to be one of the most beautiful and oldest cemeteries in the Philippines. A large number of mausoleums and tombs are scattered throughout the cemetery, among them are the graves of some of the most prominent individuals from the past.

During the All Saints Day of each year, many people visit the cemetery to observe the customs of honoring the dead. The “Lumang Simbahan” or St. Pancratius Chapel is one of those tall, towering structures that are easily visible from afar. It is a funerary chapel that dates back to 1884 and was built to serve between that time and 1962.
