Cemetery
It was originally connected by a tree-lined path to the old Catholic cemetery, where a mass grave was dug for victims of reprisals. Dating from the same period and by the same architect, it formed the embryo of the future San José neighborhood.
Currently, it is located on Avenida de Cádiz, next to the monument to José de San Martín."
