Lonely Planet review for Cementerio de San Juan
Sitting just outside the northern fortifications of the old city, the neoclassical chapel in the Cementerio de San Juan provides a focal point among the graves of the colony's earliest citizens - as well as that of the famous Puerto Rican freedom fighter Pedro Albizu-Campos. This Harvard-educated chemical engineer, lawyer and politician led the agricultural workers' strikes in 1934 and was at the forefront of the movement for Puerto Rican independence until his arrest and imprisonment in 1936.
A number of muggings have occurred here, so be careful.
