British Cemetery in Madrid, Protestant cemetery in Carabanchel, Madrid, Spain

The British Cemetery spans across a garden space with 600 graves, marble headstones, and paths following English landscape design principles.

Founded in 1854, the cemetery provided burial grounds for non-Catholic residents during a period when Spanish cemeteries only accepted Catholic burials.

The cemetery holds graves of individuals from over 40 different nationalities, including British, German, Swiss, and Spanish citizens who lived in Madrid.

Visitors can explore the grounds with an audio guide in English or Spanish for a 3-euro donation on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

The graves include those of William Parish from Circo Price, members of the Loewe family, and four Commonwealth soldiers from both World Wars.
