 BRIEF HISTORY

CAMPO SANTO DE LA LOMA

 BRIEF HISTORY
Campo Santo de Laloma or the La Loma Cemetery is a
Catholic Cemetery here in Manila. It is surrounded by 2
other cemeteries: The Manila Chinese Cemetery and the
Manila North Cemetery.

The place (with an area of slightly less than 54 hectares

(130 acres) was once a hill, that is why it is called La
Loma, and a certain Franciscan friar named Fr. Francisco
Caviedas was responsible for creating this cemetery in
1884. It is said to be the oldest cemetery here in Manila.
It was once known as Cementerio de Binondo (Binondo
Cemetery) as the area was then under the jurisdiction of
Santa Cruz during the Spanish Colonial Period.

In World War II, the whole cemetery became a Japanese

base. It is said that a lot of guerrillas and those who
tried to fight the Japanese were executed inside the
cemetery.
