Manatí, PR

Visit No. 1

On this our first visit, November, 2000, transcribed only 156 markers with many more left for future visits.

Bird droppings and feathers are everywhere in this cemetery. We spoked to the administrator, Mr. Antonio Rodriguez, about the conditions and he told us that the cemetery is undergoing restoration and apologize for the conditions.

At City Hall, we were given the name of archaeologist Carlos M. Ayes Suarez ((787) 884-0117) to contact for further information about this cemetery. We tried to contact him numerous times while in Puerto Rico but his phone was always busy.

Here is the result of our efforts.

This past January 26, 2003 was the second visit to this cemetery. This time around, it was our good friend Jorge A. Rosado who surveyed another section of this cemetery. He recorded the tombstones located on the Southwest section of the cemetery.
We are extremely grateful to Jorge for his efforts and for helping us preserve this data for future generations.
Happy Hunting!

Antiguo Cementerio de Manatí
(Joya Arquitectonica y Escultorica Nacional)

Es el segundo y mas importante cementerio municipal de la ciudad de Manatí. A mediados del siglo XIX comenzaron los enterramientos en este sagrado lugar. En 1879, gracias a Don Salvador Calaf se erigio la solemne y monumental capilla octagonal, las tapias y la portada. Este campo santo es un museo al descubierto que refleja la distincion noble y culta de Manatí y alberga entre sus muros a poetas, artesanos, libertadores, patriotas, cientificos, altos militares españoles, aristocracia y pueblo que hicieron de esta ciudad la Atena de Puerto Rico. Hoy dia es parte fundamental de la zona historica de Manatí y es la necropolis mas impresionante y monumental de Puerto Rico.
