Inaugurated in 1884, Janiuay cemetery was hailed as the most artistic cemetery in the Philippines. In fact, it was once featured in the National Geographic Magazine.
Three grand staircases lead to the cemetery built on high ground and supported by a retaining wall
At its center is an octagonal capilla styled in gothic architecture.
The lancet shaped doors and windows are a good example of the artistry and craftsmanship employed in the construction of the Janiuay Cemetery
The Janiuay Cemetery is located within the poblacion or town center. Approximately. a 5 minute tricycle ride from the plaza. To get to Janiuayclick here.
