Guatemala City General Cemetery

Ciudad de Guatemala, Italy

The Guatemala City General Cemetery was built in 1880, during general Justo Rufino Barrios presidency. Ruined by 1917–18 earthquakes, it never recovered its old splendor; originally it was exclusive for the elites and presidents, but gradually the eight Mayan hills that form it were invaded without

any urban plan, like what happened with Guatemala City itself after the 1917–18 and 1976 earthquakes.
