Lonely Planet review for Cementerio La Reina

The Cementerio La Reina was founded in 1837 and lined with the graves of Spanish soldiers who died in the Wars of Independence. La Reina is the only cemetery in Cuba where bodies are interred above ground (in the walls) due to the high groundwater levels. It also has a marble statue called Bella Durmiente: a tribute to a 24-year-old woman who died in 1907 of a broken heart. It’s an evocative place if you’re into graveyards.
