The Cementerio de San Justo, also known as Sacramental de San Justo located in Madrid, Spain, is a cemetery near the Cementerio de San Isidro, which was originally called San Pedro and San Andrés. It is located between the Paseo de la Ermita del Santo and the Vía Carpetana, in the Carabanchel district. Its entrance is at number 70 of the aforementioned promenade of the Ermita del Santo.[1]

History

Its construction, which began in 1846, was completed by the end of August 1847. In 1847, it only had one courtyard—the San Miguel Courtyard, where the chapel is located and on whose altar is the effigy of San Miguel from the Franciscan convent of Los Angeles.

Notable burials

This cemetery is the resting place of many famous Spanish people, including artists, journalists, poets, and singers.

Mariano José de Larra (1809–1837), Spanish romantic writer and journalist.
Ramón Gómez de la Serna (1888–1963), Spanish writer, dramatist and avant-garde agitator.

It is also used to help exonerate the innocent and identify the victims of crimes including child sex abuse and financial fraud.

gollark: This "clearview AI" thing they link seems worrying.

gollark: If it just makes small pixel-scale tweaks which aren't human-perceptible then it could probably be defeated by future face recognition stuff.
