The cemetery of Our Father Jesus currently has about 170,000 burials, more than 800 pantheons and more than 20,000 graves, in addition to 5,000 niches and 560 columbariums.
Annually there are around 1,200 annual burials.
Cemetery History
The neoclassical municipal cemetery.
The main facade, from 1894, is the work of the municipal architect Pedro Celdrán.
Three years after lifting it, the first official funeral would be held.
The first cemetery had 100,000 square meters, while the current dimensions are exactly double.
A part of the current cemetery goes to Al-maqbara - Muslim cemetery.
It is built in non-blessed areas, since it was previously used as a suicide zone.
The first Muslim burial took place in 1998.
