Nagcarlan Underground Cemetery in Laguna, the only one of its kind in the Philippines

Welcome to Sementeryo: Heritage Cemeteries of the Philippines!

We aim to pioneer in creating a unique online collection dedicated solely to some of the most underrated and threatened heritage areas in the Philippines: cemeteries and cemetery structures.

Specifically, this blog aims to feature cemeteries, grave sites, mausoleums, other forms of cemetery art and architecture along with related sites/scenes that can be considered as heritage-worthy, from three time periods ONLY:

- pre-Hispanic period
- Spanish colonial period
- and the period leading up to World War 2.

We also have an active Facebook page Sementeryo: Heritage Cemeteries of the Philippines where you can submit contributions which we also feature. 

Let's help create awareness and appreciation for this sometimes underrated aspect of Philippine heritage.

Thank you and read on...
