The grandeur of San Joaquin Old Cemetery

San Joaquin Old Cemetery was built at the twilight of Spanish rule, San Joaquin cemetery was initiated by Fray Mariano Vamba, the last Augustinian parish priest of the town. Terraced stone steps culminate at the cemetery’s crowning glory—its capilla, sumptuously decorated with stone carvings of a distinct floral and leaf pattern.
The CapillaThe capilla also, known as “Campo Santo,” is made of coral rocks and baked bricks.That's me under the scorching heat of the sun, enjoying the grandeur and the monumental of this edifice.
