Nestled high above the rocky cliffs with a majestic view of the Atlantic Ocean is Cementerio de San Juan. Follow the path from Quincentennial Plaza to this unusual tourist attraction. The gleaming white marble tombstones and sculptures strike an impressive contrast to the backdrop of bright, turquoise water. The red-domed Santa María

Magdalena circular chapel stands apart and offers a quiet moment. This is the final resting place for some of Puerto Rico’s most famous political and literary sons, including poet, Jose de Diego.

The view from high atop the hills is truly stunning and worth a visit.
